BLR vs CHE MPL Prediction Tips, RCB vs CSK MPL Team, Captain, Best Picks for Today’s IPL Match

RCB vs CSK Prediction: Indian Premier League Season 13 has given us a lot of surprises but none more than the fate of the two teams that will meet in game 44 in Dubai, Royals Challengers Bangalore and Chennai Super Kings. Before this season, every time you needed to search for Virat Kohli’s RCB you will start from the bottom of the points table and for Dhoni’s CSK you will search from the top of the table. But everything has changed now, RCB with 7 wins from 10 matches are fighting with Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians for a place in the top-2 while CSK are stranded at the bottom of the table with only 3 wins out of 11 matches. CSK, who made it to the playoffs every single time they turned up for IPL, have become the first side to be officially out of the tournament and all that is left for them is to play for pride. RCB have a lot to play for as the advantage of being in top-2 is huge and they would not want to lose to the bottom-placed side. Last time the two teams met, RCB beat CSK by 37 runs and will start this match as clear favorites.

BLR vs CHE MPL Fantasy Cricket Tips

Captain Choices

Virat Kohli: There are two reasons why we want Virat Kohli as your captain. Number one is that with 356 runs he is RCB’s highest run getter and number two is that the last time he came up against Chennai he made an unbeaten 90 from 52 balls including 4 Sixes and 4 Fours. Kohli has reached his peak of consistency and becomes a safe option to pick. He will be looking for more runs under his belt before he enters the playoffs.

Sam Curran: Yes, we need to dig deep to find positives from the dreadful campaign of CSK but one of the clear-cut positives has been Sam Curran. The English all-rounder has taken 10 wickets so far and scored 173 runs at an average of 21 and strike-rate of 136. CSK will be hoping form him to come good for them to have a winning chance.

Vice-Captain Choices

AB de Villiers: De Villiers has batted 9 times this season, has scored 4 fifties and has remained not out four times. His 285 runs have come at a strike-rate of 190, which is the best effort so far in the tournament. It is a pity that we are not seeing de Villiers face more deliveries and that is something Kohli has to correct.

Faf du Plessis: Du Plessis started with a bang and was doing most of the scoring for CSK in the staring few games but his form seems to have left him. 376 runs at an average of 41 and strike-rate of 138 are very good numbers but the runs have not been winning runs for his team. However, in Fantasy Leagues, Faf remains a very good choice.

X-Factors – Differential Picks

Chris Morris: RCB spent a lot of money to buy Morris and missed his services for the first five matches in which they did struggle with their bowing combination. However, Morris’ inclusion brough instant happiness for them as the South African has taken 9 wickets in 5 outing at an average of 11 and an economy rate of only 5!

MS Dhoni: Nothing has gone right for one of the most successful Captains and Batters of all time as Dhoni has not even made a single fifty in the tournament. His 180 runs have come at a below-par strike-rate of 122. The whole world knows that Dhoni is a fighter and we expect him to come out fighting in this match.
