Match Prediction

Both teams are coming into this contest with momentum, having won their opening matches. CSK has the home advantage and a strong spin attack, while RCB boasts a power-packed batting lineup led by Virat Kohli. The battle between CSK’s spinners and RCB’s aggressive batters will be key.

Prediction: Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are slight favorites to win due to their familiarity with conditions and their superior spin department. However, if RCB’s top-order fires, they could turn the tables.

Predicted Winner: CSK (55% probability)
