At the end of the first innings, CSK was able to achieve 226 runs / 6 wickets. So it was an incredible batting of Devon Conway, Shivam Dube, and Ajinkya Rahane. Others also did good batting today.
Royal Challengers Bangalore has also a good batting lineup. Though chasing 226 runs is very tough but is not impossible for the RCB. Although I believe CSK will win today.
Edit: Ops Kohli is gone. A big plus for CSK.
Do you know what was special about this Chennai super kings innings of 226 runs? Usually, when CSK makes such big scores, we always assume that MS Dhoni must have made a big 100 or 50 runs contribution in the total or he might have scored a quick 25 - 30 runs, but that did not happen. In fact, he was not even required to bat (come to bat in 2nd last ball of the innings) and Chennai super kings made this gigantic total.
Devon Conway scored the highest 83 runs with a strike rate of 184 runs.
In response, Royal Challengers Bangalore lost two quick wickets including the wicket of Virat Kohli, making the chase even more difficult.
The chase have been made easier and today it is an unlucky day for CSK. In 9 overs Royal Challengers have scored 105 runs losing the early 2 wickets. Maxwell and Du Plessis on fire. Already Du Plessis have reached half century in 23 balls. 122 runs in 66 balls is easy reachable for a team with the best batting line-up. Expect the match to be over by the 18th over or earlier.
