CSK vs RCB Prediction & Betting Tips, IPL 2020
Both Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore will bid to get back to winning ways when they meet in the 2020 Indian Premier League in Dubai. The match, at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, takes place on October 10 and the live action starts at 19:30 local time.
Chennai Super Kings started the tournament by beating Mumbai Indians but they have won just once on five matches since. A stunning ten-wicket win against Kings XI Punjab looked to be getting them back on track, but they failed to chase 168 to beat Kolkata last time out to fall to another defeat.
Royal Challengers Bangalore are two points ahead of the Super Kings, with three wins so far, but they slipped to a second defeat last time out when they limped to 137/9 chasing 197 to beat Delhi Capitals.

CSK Team News & Playing 11
CSK Team News
Deepak Chahar was expensive with the ball last time out but generally the only major problem for CSK was that they did not score quickly enough. With all four overseas players playing well, it is hard to see where major changes will be made.
CSK Key Players
- Faf du Plessis: In excellent batting form so far, with his 87* in the win against Kings XI Punjab his third half-century of the tournament.
- Shane Watson: Made it back-to-back half-centuries when he scored exactly 50 last time out to follow up his unbeaten 83 in the previous game.
- Sam Curran: Back in the wickets last time out, to move to seven in the tournament so far, while he can also swing the bat down the order.
CSK Team Form
Chennai Super Kings have won just twice so far and only once since defeating Mumbai Indians in the opening game. Faf du Plessis (87*) and Shane Watson (83*) shared an unbroken opening partnership in the most recent win, against Kings XI Punjab, to guide the Super Kings to a ten-wicket win but they could not back up a good bowling performance against Kolkata Knight Riders last time out as they lost by ten runs.
CSK Predicted Playing 11
Shane Watson, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Faf du Plessis, Ambati Rayudu, MS Dhoni (c, wk), Sam Curran, Ravindra Jadeja, Kedar Jadhav, Deepak Chahar, Piyush Chawla, Lungi Ngidi
RCB Team News & Playing 11
RCB Team News
Royal Challengers Bangalore have been happy to mix things up so far and there could be further changes this time as they look to get back to winning ways. Moeen Ali made his first appearance of the season last time out.
RCB Key Players
- Virat Kohli: Started to find form again after a slow start, hitting 72* and 43 in his last two innings as he leads the Bangalore batting in IPL 2020.
- Aaron Finch: The big-hitting Australia captain started the tournament well, and hit a half-century against Mumbai. He will want to get back to that quickly.
- AB de Villiers: Already hit two half-centuries so far this season, against Sunrisers Hyderabad and Mumbai Indians, to prove how key he is with the bat.
RCB Team Form
Royal Challengers Bangalore have won three of their five matches so far, but they do go into this game on the back of a defeat. Their most recent win was a dominant victory against Rajasthan Royals as Virat Kohli hit 72* in a successful chase of 155 to win by eight wickets. Last time out, however, they limped to just 137/9 in pursuit of 197 to beat Delhi Capitals.
RCB Predicted Playing 11
Aaron Finch, Devdutt Padikkal, Virat Kohli (c), AB de Villiers (wk), Shivam Dube, Moeen Ali, Washington Sundar, Yuzvendra Chahal, Dale Steyn, Navdeep Saini, Mohammad Siraj
CSK vs RCB Head to Head
Chennai Super Kings have a dominant record in this fixture, winning 16 times to RCB’s eight, although their seven-match winning streak was halted last time they met. In the first meeting last season, they bowled Royal Challengers Bangalore out for 70 on their way to a low-scoring, seven-wicket win. The next match went down to the last ball, and MS Dhoni’s 84* from 48 balls came just too late for the Super Kings, as a last-ball run-out meant they finished 160/8 in reply to 161/7.
