If it rains, RCB will be better off than CSK..!?
The most important match of the IPL 2024 season is chennai vs Bengaluru on Sunday, May 18. CSK is currently third in the points table with 14 points. Completed league match in Chennai! But if this happens, dhoni can play 2 more matches in Chepauk. Bangalore team is fifth in the points table with 12 points. CSK must win this match. That will most likely qualify for the playoffs. Maybe if the CSK team loses it should not be a huge defeat. This defeat should be by at least 18 runs. If this is the case, many private meteorologists have opined that there is a high chance of rain in Bengaluru on Saturday. If the game is suspended without even bowling an over, CSK will get 15 points and go into the play-offs.
But if the rain means less and the overs of the game are reduced, it will favor RCB more than CSK. Because Bangalore Chinnaswamy ground is favorable for run accumulation. If the matches are shortened to five overs instead of eight overs, the toss becomes more important. There is no problem if CSK bowls first. Otherwise, it will be a big wedge for CSK. If the overs are reduced, the RCB team will play more aggressively than CSK. Kohli, Du Plessis, cameron Green, Dinesh Karthik, and Maxwell are many active players in that team. Similarly, Mohammad Siraj is in good form at the moment. CSK may stumble due to this. Also, the rain will make it difficult for CSK to use their strong spin bowlers. Therefore, if it rains, it should rain in such a way that the competition does not take place. Otherwise, it should not happen at all. Even so, if it rains and the match is shortened, the toss should fall in favor of Chennai.
