IPL MATCH PREDICTION: Rajasthan Royals vs Chennai Super Kings, match 68
In their final group stage match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022, the defending champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will meet the formidable Rajasthan Royals (RR). While RR qualified for the playoffs after defeating the newcomers Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in their previous encounter, the Yellow Army were defeated by Gujarat Titans in their most recent match (GT).
The match between RR and CSK will take place on May 20 at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai (Friday). While the Royals will be strengthened by the inclusion of star hitter Shimron Hetmyer, CSK may make a few changes to their lineup given that this is their final IPL 2022 encounter.
