4. Match Prediction & Analysis

Team Strengths

• RCB: Power-packed batting unit led by Virat Kohli and Tim David. All-rounders like Krunal and Shepherd add depth.
• CSK: A balanced team with experienced finishers like Dhoni and Jadeja, and versatile all-rounders including Curran and Brevis.

Pitch Report

M. Chinnaswamy Stadium is a batting paradise. Expect high scores, short boundaries, and quick outfield. Spinners may find it hard to grip under lights due to dew.

Match Prediction

CSK has chosen to chase, which suits the venue’s trends. However, RCB’s top-order form and home advantage make them slight favorites. Expect a close contest!
