Next up in the Vivo IPL 2021 is a thrilling contest between the Chennai Super Kings and the Royal Challengers Bangalore. It is a match between two sides who are in red hot form at the moment.
CSK have seen a major upturn in form after their opening day loss against the Delhi Capitals. They completed a hat trick of wins against the Kolkata Knight Riders in their last match. They have found their best XI and will be looking to stick to it in this match too.
On the other hand, RCB are the side yet to be beaten this season. They have won all the four games that they have played this season. Their only major concern was the lack of runs from Devdutt Padikkal and Virat Kohli. And in the last match against Rajasthan Royals, the openers were spot on. It will be interesting to see which side’s winning run comes to an end

IPL 2021 CSK vs RCB Pitch Report:
The pitch at the Wankhede Stadium has been a dream one for batting with scores of 180+ being piled one after the other at an alarming rate. There is not much spin off the surface. But the seamers will be key in the opening overs especially given the swing on offer in the initial overs.
Both the teams will be looking to bat first as this is an afternoon game and the conditions are not expected to change much as the game progresses. 180-190 would be a par score at this venue but there is no safe score here.
