RCB vs CSK Live Score: 6 and out!! MSD is a goner

In MSD's zone but he fails to connect it this time! An easy catch near the square leg fence brings an end to Dhoni's cameo. CSK need 11 off 4, it has become a nail-biter!!

RCB vs CSK Live Score: 4, 4, 6 - Lockie goes expensive!!

After Jadeja flicks one to the fine leg fence, MS Dhoni powerfully hits the fourth ball through the off side for a boundary. 

Oh dear, what a poor over it is turning out for RCB! Lockie concedes a six off the final ball as CSK need 17 runs in six balls to make it into the playoffs. 

It's pretty much possible. 


23:45 (IST) May 18

RCB vs CSK Live Score: Jadeja taking it away from RCB!!

After smashing a six off Siraj's first ball, Ravindra Jadeja hits another boundary on the fourth ball to bring CSK back into the game.

23:16 (IST) May 18

RCB vs CSK Live Score: Horrible mix-up ends Ravindra's stay

What a horrible way to get out from Rachin Ravindra!! He was looking set in the middle. 

He just hammered his New Zealand teammate for some scintillating boundaries, but now he gets run out, thanks to a mix-up with Shivam Dube. 

Much-needed breakthrough for RCB. They are on top!

RCB vs CSK Live Score: Swapnil keeps things tight

Coming to bowl his second over, Swapnil Singh manages to squeeze CSK's run rate, conceding only seven runs.

RCB vs CSK Live Score: Bengaluru need wickets!

Just six singles off Swapnil's first over. A tidy over from the left-arm spinner, but RCB needs wickets at the moment. Time out taken. Can a small break change the momentum or another heartbreak is loading for the Red Army?


22:37 (IST) May 18

RCB vs CSK Live Score: Attack is on!!!

Dayal is brought back to bowl the final over of the powerplay, but he is leaking runs at the moment. 15 runs off the 6th overs as Rahane smashes two boundaries coupled with Ravindra's four off the first ball. CSK need 161 runs to win, RCB need to restrict them below 200.

22:22 (IST) May 18

RCB Vs CSK Live Score: Another dent to Chennai's chase

Kohli takes a blinder and boy he is pumped! Daryl Mitchell is a goner. He looks to clear the mid off region driving with the open face of the bat but fails to get the middle of the stick. Kohli, placed at mid-off, takes a brilliant catch before he unveils his raw emotions.

22:22 (IST) May 18

Decent start from Mohammed Siraj. Just 7 runs off it. Change in bowling. Yash Dayal comes into the attack replacing Maxwell. 


22:16 (IST) May 18

RCB Vs CSK Live Score: Neither of them are letting it go

A huge wicket and a couple of boundaries. Both teams are throwing punches at each other. 12 runs and a wicket off the first over.

22:11 (IST) May 18

RCB Vs CSK Live Score: WHAT A START!

Ruturaj Gaikwad falls for a duck on the very first ball. The ploy of opening the innings with Glenn Maxwell has worked like a charm. Was a nothing ball that could have been put anywhere but the CSK skipper chose to deposist it straight to Dayal at short fine leg.



22:10 (IST) May 18

RCB Vs CSK Live Score: The Chase is on!!

Glenn Maxwell to bowl the first over, Ruturaj and Rvaindra to open!

RCB Vs CSK Live Score: Qualification scenario- 


Royal Challengers Bengaluru need to restrict Chennai Super Kings to 200 or less to qualify for the playoffs.


21:59 (IST) May 18

RCB Vs CSK Live Score: CSK needs 219 to win!

A solid opening partnership of over 50 runs by Virat Kohli and Faf Du Plessis, helped RCB have a strong start at home. After Kohli's wicket, Faf held his nerves for a little while however, a controversial run-out sent him packing then the reigns fell on Rajat Patidar and Cameron Greens to build a partnership. 


And they indeed did, they helped boost the total to 187 until Patidar fell after which Dinesh Karthik and Glenn Maxwell's cameos along with Cameron Green's 38 off 17 balls helped RCB put up a total of 218 on the board

21:53 (IST) May 18

RCB Vs CSK Live Score: 4 OFF 16! That's Maxwell for you!

Safe hands! MS Dhoni taking a simple catch running to his left. One more ball to go in the first innings. Another one falls trying to clear the fence! But it has been a superb cameo from the Australian! 


21:47 (IST) May 18

RCB Vs CSK Live Score: Karthik Goes, Maxwell Arrives! 💪🏻

A quick-fire 14 off six, with a strike rate of 233.33. A Good cameo from Karthik! In comes Glenn Maxwell! And what an entry, a cracking start that too with a boundary over MS Dhoni.

Advertisement
21:40 (IST) May 18

RCB Vs CSK Live Score: MAN DOWN, I REPEAT, MAN DOWN!

The slower one from Shardul does the trick fetching him a wicket in this expensive spell. Rajat Patidar attempted to hit a big one and almost succeeded, but looks like Daryl Mitchell had different plans. A similar juggling catch like that of that Virat Kohli and he manages to seal the catch yet again and this time Patidar has to walk back. Patidar falls for 41 off 23. But take a look at his stunning six here, before his dismissal:




21:36 (IST) May 18

RCB Vs CSK Live Score: Cam Green's A Beast! 😱

What a six! That's a humongous six, he sent it straight to the crowd! Cam Green, you beauty! 🫡 Oh wait, there's more, back to back six, another big one! 

This time, into the pitch from Thakur but Green is sending it into the night sky!

21:34 (IST) May 18

RCB Vs CSK Live Score: Patidar gets hit on the helmet!

Patidar is early on the swivel pull and misses to get hit on the helmet. Extra bounce also adds to the bowler's advantage. Rajat Patidar has been hit on the helmet. The RCB physio is in the middle, checking Patidar and a mandatory concussion test is being done as per protocols. He looks alright! The game continues!


21:29 (IST) May 18

RCB Vs CSK Live Score: Time for strategic timeout!

RCB on the charge, but they need a big total to have a chance against this CSK side. Still 4 overs to go, expect some fireworks, expect some big hits! Can RCB reach 200?

Advertisement


21:22 (IST) May 18

RCB Vs CSK Live Score: Is Patidar a goner?

CSK take review for lbw as Patidar shuffles across and misses the ball which cops a blow on the front leg. Since Patidar has shuffled so much, it looks as if the impact is outside the off. MSD wasn't too keen on taking the review.


And yes, there was a reason MS Dhoni wasn't interested. The impact was way outside the off-stump. CSK waste a review.


21:18 (IST) May 18

RCB Vs CSK Live Score: Ideal score for RCB?

Almost 6 overs to go, two power-packed batters in, and more to follow. RCB need to win the match by 18 runs to qualify, and as a result, should look at 200 from here on. That's a bare minimum.

21:12 (IST) May 18

RCB vs CSK Live Score: Patidar-Green Attack Simarjeet!

Back to back fours for the No.3 batter, he has been of immense help this entire season for RCB, hope he scores a big one today too. And now, Cameron Green also joins the party! 


21:11 (IST) May 18

RCB vs CSK Live Score: Another controversial run-out?

21:04 (IST) May 18

RCB vs CSK Live Score: Did Faf make it?

Did Santner get a hand to the ball? The TV umpire has been summoned. And as the replays show, he did get a hand to it. Now onto see whether the bat is grounded beyond the line. It seems as if the bat is in the air! And OUT! 


RCB lose a good set batter, Faf du Plessis has to walk back after scoring 54 runs. He looked in sublime form today. He looks in disagreement with the umpire and is extremely angry!


RCB is at 114/2, Cameron Green is brought into the attack!


20:57 (IST) May 18

RCB vs CSK Live Score: FIFTY FOR SKIPPER FAF!

Faf looked a little rusty after the rain however, he has pulled out some big ones and with that the skipper reaches his half century. What a player! 50 in a crucial decider. All RCB fans must be thrilled. Spectacular innings!


37th IPL fifty for Faf du Plessis. The skipper is leading from the front in the do-or-die contest. RCB have reached 100 in the 12th over.

King Kohli hit a humongous six off Mitchell Santner on the previous ball, however, as he attempts to hit a big one on the next ball, Daryl Mitchell stationed at the long-on juggled a bit however, made the catch.  

TV umpire has been summoned to confirm the cleanness. Clean effort from Daryl Mitchell at the rope. Kohli looks to go big against the spin but perishes. He walks off after scoring 47 crucial runs.

Rajat Patidar walks in next!

18:16 (IST) May 18

RCB Vs CSK Live Score: M Chinnaswamy Stadium Pitch Report

The pitch at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru is known to be a batter's paradise. It usually offers a belter of a surface and with short boundaries, the pitches are flat, making it a nightmare for bowlers. 


The pitch is slightly tricky to bat first as the ball tends to hold onto the surface. In the second half of the match, batting becomes easy as witnessed in the last few games at this venue. 


At this track, fast bowlers might get some help at the start of the innings with the new ball. The match between RCB and CSK is likely expected to be a high-scoring fixture, and the toss-winning captain is likely to choose fielding. 


Given the flat nature of the pitch and the close boundaries, chasing becomes a preferred strategy in this scenario.

RCB Vs CSK Live Score: Team Previews

Chennai Super Kings: CSK, led by Ruturaj Gaikwad, have never found any rhythm throughout the IPL 2024. Even though they emerged victorious on seven out of 13 occasions, there are plenty of areas, plagued with injuries, that have made their lives miserable. Still, a win in this fixture will guarantee their position in the playoffs.


In fact, if things go in their favour in other fixtures, they can even finish among the top two sides. However, similar to RCB, they won't have the services of Moeen Ali, who has returned to England for the same reason.


Who will come up in Moeen's place? Probably Mitchell Santner. The Kiwi all-rounder has had one bad game, and mind you, he can be very handy with the bat as well. The others, unless Deepak Chahar makes a miracle to return, will, in all likelihood, keep their places.


18:13 (IST) May 18

RCB Vs CSK Live Score: Team Previews

Royal Challengers Bengaluru: IPL 2024 turned out to be an absolute cinematic masterpiece for RCB, who suffered six defeats on the trot and were on the verge of becoming the first team to be eliminated from the competition. However, then the script turned upside down, with Virat Kohli shining like a star to power them to five wins on the bounce.


Now, the situation is clear, and RCB have their fate in their own hands to qualify for the next round. However, they won't have their emerging sensation, Will Jacks, to complete a dramatic turnaround. Jacks has returned to England, alongside many IPL stars, to prepare themselves for the T20 World Cup 2024.


In Jacks' absence, RCB's primary replacement should be Glenn Maxwell, who has been in torturous form in the IPL 2024, resulting in him being dropped not once but twice. The others, given the collective performance they have been putting on, are expected to retain their places unless there is any major injury threat.
