Match details:

Date: 20, May 2022
Time: 7:30 PM
Venue: Wankhede Stadium

Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings will be facing each other in the 68th match of IPL 2022, to be played at Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai. While RR finished seventh in the table the previous season, CSK were the champions then. Both the teams are facing each other for the first time in the season. CSK has already been eliminated from the playoffs, while a win for RR will confirm both a playoff spot and a top-two spot.

Jos Buttler, the Orange Cap holder has been off-color in the last few matches. Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson, and Devdutt Padikkal are brilliant with the bat. They have the Purple Cap Yuzvendra Chahal, along with Trent Boult and Prasidh Krishna also being as good. With CSK already out of the season, they are trying new options. Ruturaj Gaikwad-Devon Conway has been a good opening pair in the latter half of the season. Shivam Dube has been their explosive batter. Dwayne Bravo, Mukesh Choudhary, and Maheesh Theekshana were the top bowlers of the team, with Matheesha Pathirana who impressed on his debut in the last match.

Pitch Report:

It can be a high-scoring pitch if the team batting first utilizes the most out of it, just like how Punjab did against RCB. A score between 160-180 would be expected from the team batting first.

Head to head: Both the teams have faced each other 25 times in the IPL, with CSK winning 15 and RR winning 10.
