Preview:

It will be 49th match of IPL 2022 on Wednesday between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Chennai Super Kings.

It will be the second game of the season for both the teams against each other. Chennai had defeated Bangalore in the first game by 23 runs and it was their first win of the season.

Bangalore have lost three of their past games and will need to win this one to keep their hopes alive of featuring in the playoffs. They are currently placed in the 5th position in the points table with 5 wins in 10 matches. With five wins and five losses, Royal Challengers Bangalore's 2022 IPL season has been a mirror image of some of their past seasons.

Chennai have managed to win 3 out of 9 matches and the change in captaincy did work for them in the last game. The team would hope to win the remaining 5 matches and have a chance to qualify for the playoffs. In their last game, Devon Conway and Ruturaj Gaikwad stitched a massive opening stand of 182.

Pitch Report:

The team winning the toss can look to bat. CSK won their last game against SRH at this ground, while RCB lost their previous game here against RR. The pitch is expected to provide a lot of help to the batsmen as we saw in the last match. Spinners did find some support from the pitch during the initial matches but the same might not happen in this match. The MCA stadium in Pune has offered some bounce through the course of the season. CSK and SRH combined to aggregate 391 runs in the last match played here.
