IPL 2021: CSK vs RCB – Match 19, Match Prediction – Who Will Win Today’s Match?

CSK vs RCB: Chennai Super Kings will take on the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the 19th match of the Indian Premier League 2021. 

Both teams have been in a hot form this season and currently occupying the top two spots in the points table. Virat Kohli-led Royal Challengers Bangalore have won all the four matches they played so far while MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings have won the three matches out of the four they played so far. Also, it will be the last match of this season at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium. 

Talking about the teams, Chennai Super Kings’ batting looks very strong this time. Moeen Ali and Suresh Raina’s addition have given a much needed strength to the team. With Faf du Plessis also scoring an impressive fifty in the Chennai Super Kings’ previous game against Kolkata Knight Riders, the three-time IPL champions look set to extend their winning streak to four games. Their bowling department also looked in great touch with Deepak Chahar leading from the front. However, the match against KKR in which Andre Russell and Pat Cummins gave them a scare in the mammoth run chase would keep them on the tenterhooks against an in-form RCB batting attack. 

The Royal Challengers Bangalore, on the other hand won their previous game by 10 wickets when they chased down 181 against Rajasthan Royals without breaking much sweat. Devdutt Padikkal has also returned to his red and hot form. He slammed a brilliant century in the previous game and showed the world that he’s a star in the making.

Their bowling department has also been impressive this season. Harshal Patel, Kyle Jamieson and Mohammed Siraj have been the regular wicket takers for them. However Yuzvendra Chahal’s poor form is still the topic of concern for them.
