Match Preview
The league stage of the IPL 2024 is approaching its end and in the 61st match of the season, reigning champions Chennai Super Kings are set to host Rajasthan Royals. The match will be played at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on May 12, Sunday, at 3:30 pm. Chennai will be fresh off a game against Gujarat Titans, whereas Rajasthan will be on the back of a 20-run defeat against the Delhi Capitals.
While RR are almost on the verge of making it to the IPL 2024 playoffs, CSK needs to win two of their remaining three games. The tournament has become more intense and thrilling as it has all reached the ultimate fight for the playoff spot.
Toss Prediction
Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals have faced each other in 28 games in the previous seasons of the tournament. Considering their last five meetings, RR skipper came on top of three out of five tosses, whereas CSK’s former captain MS Dhoni managed to win two. Considering the tally and the venue for the forthcoming match, it’d be safe to say that home captain Ruturaj Gaikwad is more likely to win the toss.
Win Possibility
Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals have clashed against each other in 28 games at the cash-rich league tournament. Out of those games, CSK emerged victorious in 15 games, whereas RR clinched victory in 13 games. Considering their current form, RR have been dominating the season with remarkable prowess. Hence, they would also aim for a one-sided win at Chepauk on Sunday.
However, as CSK needs to win two of their three games to seal a playoff berth, they will go all out against their Rajasthani rivals. Apart from that, CSK are lethal when it comes to playing at Chepauk, and while they lost their last game at home, they wouldn’t want to repeat their past mistakes. Considering this, we think CSK would win the forthcoming game.
Predicted Powerplay Score and Average First Inning Score
The MA Chidambaram Stadium, popularly called Chepauk and affectionately called Anbuden by CSK fans, has hosted a total of 82 matches in the tournament. Talking about the stadium's records, the venue's first-inning score is around 165. Depending on this, we think the first-inning score of the next match would be around 180-190. The game's powerplay score is likely around 55-60.
