The 68th match of IPL 2024 will be played between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Chennai Super Kings. This match will be played today i.e. on 18th May at Chinnaswamy Cricket Stadium in Bengaluru. This match between RCB and CSK is no less than a final because the qualifier team has to be decided in this match. If CSK wins this match then it will qualify for the playoffs. On the other hand, even if RCB wins this match by a small margin, Chennai will qualify.

Bengaluru will get home ground advantage

In the match between CSK and RCB, Bengaluru seems to have the upper hand. The situation of this match is forcing Bengaluru to shoot. The first reason is that this match will be played at Chinnaswamy Cricket Stadium, which is the home ground stadium of Bengaluru. In such a situation, RCB will definitely get the advantage of its home ground. RCB has played the maximum number of matches on this ground. In such a situation, if the decisive match is played on one's home ground, then it is considered the biggest advantage.

Toss will play an important role

The second reason is the toss factor. Ruturaj Gaikwad's record of winning the toss is very bad. Chennai has played a total of 13 matches so far this season, out of which it has won the toss in only 2 matches. Gaikwad has lost the toss in 11 matches. Toss is going to play an important role in this match, so if Chennai loses the toss in this match also, then RCB will benefit a lot.

RCB is in great form

Apart from this, the third reason is RCB's return to form. RCB is winning 5 consecutive matches. While Chennai has won only 3 matches in the last 7 matches, CSK has lost the remaining 4 matches. For this reason, RCB's dominance is being seen in this match.
