NEW DELHI: After a tremendous turnaround in their campaign,
Royal Challengers Bengaluru
are hoping for favorable weather conditions as they prepare to face the defending champions Chennai Super Kings in an epic clash at the M
Chinnaswamy Stadium
on Saturday. This crucial match will determine the fourth and final team to qualify for the IPL playoffs.
Sunrisers Hyderabad, Kolkata Knight Riders, and Rajasthan Royals have already secured three of the four playoff spots.
As RCB and CSK compete for the last playoff position, who will come out on top?
With just a few hours left until the high-octane encounter, Australian legend and former CSK opening batsman Shane Watson has made his prediction for the
RCB vs CSK
match.
"Well, the IPL is hitting a crescendo and it's playoffs time and there's one more spot up for grabs. And here's my prediction for the fourth spot in the playoffs. It's a big, big match, CSK vs RCB at the Chinnaswamy stadium, and my heart is saying CSK. I've just got a feeling that everyone is going to rally around at CSK because it could be
MS Dhoni's last game for CSK and no one wants it to be his last game," Watson said in a video posted on his social media account.
"So I've got a feeling that the players are going to really come together and produce an incredible performance at the Chinnaswamy. But
Virat Kohli
, he's going to have something to say about that. He's been on fire. RCB have won five in a row, so it's going to be an incredible game of cricket. But for me CSK can make it to the playoffs. And then you never know CSK know better than anyone how to win the IPL final," Watson said.
