Chennai Super Kings vs Royal Challengers Bangalore: Who will win CSK vs RCB IPL 2024 Match 1?

It is time for the new season of the Indian Premier League 2024 and the extravaganza will begin with a blockbuster clash between the two titans, Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore. The CSK will host this contest at their fortress MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Friday at 8:00 PM IST.

Chennai Super Kings, led by Ruturaj Gaikwad, will enter the competition as the defending champions. Meanwhile, Royal Challengers Bangalore, led by the charismatic Faf du Plessis, will still be searching for their first championship.

Both teams have a few new names in their units this season and they will look to find their best combination from the very first game and look to begin with a win.

CSK vs RCB Head-to-Head

Although both sides have always been the heavyweights in the IPL, CSK have managed to make light work of RCB. The Chennai-based franchise has won 20 matches against RCB, while the latter has won only 10 games.

CSK vs RCB Record at MA Chidambaram Stadium

In IPL, Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore have met 8 times at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. The Yellow Army clearly dominates at their home with 7 wins, while the Bengaluru-based franchise has managed only a single win.

CSK vs RCB Last 5 meetings

In the last 5 meetings between the two sides, the Super Kings from Chennai have won 4 matches, while the Royal Challengers have won only 1 game.

The CSK have always been a team to beat at home and they once again will enter the game as the firm favourites courtesy of their spinners. They have the likes of Ravindra Jadeja and Maheesh Theekshana alongside Moeen Ali and Rachin Ravindra to support.

At the same time, Royal Challengers Bangalore once again have a super-solid batting unit but the same can’t be said about their bowling. Furthermore, they don’t have quality spinners in their squad.

As per our prediction, Chennai Super Kings are expected to win this match.
