'They Have Virat Kohli...': Brian Lara Predicts RCB To Beat CSK And Reach Playoffs

Get ready for a thrilling match as Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) goes head-to-head against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in one of this season's most crucial games. 

This will be the final match for both teams, taking place at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.

RCB's path to the playoffs hinges on a precise equation: they must defeat CSK by a margin of 18 runs if they bat first, or chase down the target within 18.1 overs if they're chasing the score. 

In the event of a CSK win or a match abandonment, RCB's hopes of advancing in IPL 2024 will be dashed, leading to their elimination from the tournament.

Lara says 'it's RCB time'

West Indies legend Brian Lara has put his money on RCB, predicting their win against CSK and securing a spot in the playoffs. 

"Well, it is not just form. I mean RCB has a five-match winning streak right now and no other team has done that this year. They have Virat Kohli, who is in hot form. But the most important thing is that other players are also playing their roles well which is important for the team's success. So I think form is one thing" - Lara said. 

With RCB riding a wave of momentum with 5 consecutive wins and Virat Kohli in stellar form, the team has a formidable advantage.

 Kohli, currently holding the orange cap in IPL 2024, is expected by Brian Lara to be the key player in RCB's win over CSK.
