RCB vs CSK Scenarios if it rains
The stage is set for arguably the biggest league stage clash of this year’s IPL, with RCB featuring Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni’s CSK facing off in the 68th match on Saturday.
A couple of weeks ago, at the halfway stage of the tournament, no one ever wondered that RCB would be one of the teams to stay in contention for IPL playoffs
However, Royal Challengers Bengaluru turned the tables and played extraordinary cricket to win 5 out 5 games to climb from tenth to sixth spot on the points table.
And now their game against CSK may play the role of deciding whether Bengaluru or Chennai claim playoffs berth.
