Today Match Prediction for CSK vs BLR Dream11:Two teams who have had their share of wins and losses over the years with the kind of cricket they have played and the camaraderie their skippers share. Two icons of Indian cricket MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli go head to head and they are also 1 and 2 in the table and that would be the icing on the cake where these two teams go head with them trying to top the table. Both the teams are hot right now however with the kind of form that has been shown by Virat and his team, you would say that on a flat deck, they would be the favored team. It is the game that will be the quintessential clash of the titans here

Interestingly, RCB also appear to have found a fix for a long-standing issue. They may have denied CSK their first-choice spin-allrounder Glenn Maxwell with a bid of INR 14.25 Cr, but the man behind sorting out RCB's death bowling woes has been the traded-in Harshal Patel. Not having to bowl at the unforgiving Chinnaswamy has made a big difference, but Harshal's wicket-taking knack has put them at the top of the bowling charts in the death overs. RCB have 20 wickets at the death, at an economy rate of 8.00 and a strike-rate of 6. No team has bettered them in any of the three departments. As for the tally, MI are a distant second with 12 wickets in that phase.

Fixture: Match 19 . Chennai Super Kings vs Royal Challengers Bangalore
When:25 April, 3 : 30 IST
Venue:Wankhede stadium, Mumbai
WATCH CSK vs BLR VIVO IPL Live Match Score:Watch Chennai Super Kings vs Royal Challengers Bangalore live on Stars Sports Network and on Hotstar

What to expect:The last league game at Wankhede also happens to be the first 3:30 PM start there. In the first eight games at the venue, teams batting second have won five times. But that trend could go out of the window due to the change in match timings. This is likely to end up being a 'good toss to lose'.

Team-wise, RCB have featured in one afternoon game (in Chennai) where they batted first and smashed 204/4 in a 38-run win over KKR. Sunday's game will be CSK's first 3:30 PM fixture.

Chennai Super Kings vs Royal Challengers Bangalore

Chennai Super Kings Playing 11 (likely)

Chennai Super Kings Team News:

Injured/Unavailable: There are no reported injuries at the moment. Jason Behrendorff, Josh Hazlewood's replacement, is currently in isolation since arriving on April 18. He should be available for selection from CSK's next fixture - against SRH on April 28.

Playing Combination: Where Dhoni uses Ravindra Jadeja with the ball could have a bearing on how the game goes. The left-arm spinner has a fine record against Kohli - he has conceded 123 runs in 113 balls bowled to RCB skipper, dismissing him thrice. Jadeja has also got the better of Glenn Maxwell on four occasions, giving away just 35 runs in the 30 deliveries bowled to him.

Chennai Super Kings Playing 11 (likely)

• Ruturaj Gaikwad
• Faf du Plessis
• Moeen Ali
• Suresh Raina
• Ambati Rayudu
• Sam Curran
• MS Dhoni
• Ravindra Jadeja
• Lungi Ngidi
• Shardul Thakur
• Deepak Chahar

FAF du Plessis – He has been the most consistent player for this team for a while and is averaging a staggering 82 right now in the tournament at a strike rate of 145 with 167 runs. He is the mainstay of their batting.

Deepak CHahar – He is causing problems with the new ball and with the RCB top order, he will be the one weapon who they will be hoping to unleash and be the game changer here in this tournament.

Royal Challengers Bangalore 11 (likely)

Royal Challengers Bangalore Team News::

Match-ups: With two wickets in four games, Yuzvendra Chahal is yet to hit the ground running this season. This fixture would be perfect for him to rekindle his old-self through the middle-overs, a phase that CSK have aced with the bat this year. Chahal has picked 12 wickets in 11 outings against CSK, and sent Suresh Raina packing four times.

Royal Challengers Bangalore Playing 11

• Shahbaz Ahmed,
• Glenn Maxwell
• AB de Villiers(w)
• Washington Sundar
• Daniel Sams/Kane Richardson
• Kyle Jamieson
• Harshal Patel
• Mohammed Siraj
• Yuzvendra Chahal

G Maxwell – He has scored the most runs for his franchise and is right now the most bankable player here. He has scored at an average of over 58 and scored 176 runs. He goes hard at the ball and strikes at 150. The Strike rate can go higher and higher once he is set.

Devdutt Padikal – he showed in the last game how he is the one to watch out for in the coming weeks and months and years. He got his maiden 100 in the last game and showed why he is such a class act. Expect him to be there at the forefront of everything.

What They Said: "We have taken the most wickets in the death overs this season so far and it's something we take pride in. Dev's innings was a great one but I'd also like to credit the bowlers for setting it up. (To the fans) I'd say don't be overexcited. We're being professional. We're moving in the right direction." - Virat Kohli

"The batting has been really good. Rutu [Ruturaj Gaikwad] is somebody who has shown his class in the last IPL. You always need to assess where he is mentally. Once when he was off guard, I just asked him how are you feeling today. When you put a question like that, you wait for the reactions, you see what's in his eyes. There was enough in his reactions to suggest he wasn't rattled." - MS Dhoni
