Team winner Prediction:
Key Points:
- RR is in second place and has been one of the most consistent sides of IPL 2022
- CSK has had its worst-ever season in IPL history and has nothing but pride to play for in this match
- CSK is expected to play an experimental side to give its youngsters a chance while RR is likely to play its full-strength team
RR vs CSK Analysis:
The Rajasthan Royals are going to be playing against the Chennai Super Kings in what will be the final IPL 2022 group match for both teams. In fact, in the case of CSK, this will be its final match of the season since the most successful team in IPL history is currently second from the bottom in the standings.
There is only pride to play for at this stage for CSK and it may look to test out a couple of youngsters to try and build for the next season, however, RR has a lot to play for. It could cement a top-2 place with a win in this match and give itself two shots of making the IPL Final.
That can be an invaluable advantage to have.
All the IPL betting sites have RR as the favorite to win this match and it is hard to argue with that assessment. Let us look at some other betting opportunities that may present themselves.

Match Details:
Match 68- RR vs CSK
Date: 20 May, 2022
Time: 07:30 PM (IST)
Venue: Brabourne Stadium, Mumbai, India
Live Streaming: Disney+ Hotstar
TV: Star Sports Network
Pitch and Weather Conditions:
As fast as venues in IPL 2022 go, none have been better for batting than the Brabourne Stadium. The average first inning score of 179.1 and the average first inning winning total is 197.8!
An average of 34 fours and 14 sixes have been hit in matches played here. The average powerplay score is 52.2.
Spin has played more of a role at every venue and we don’t think the Brabourne is going to be much different in that regard. Overall, though, this is still a venue where you can expect a high-scoring match.
Team Preview:
Rajasthan Royals (RR):
The Rajasthan Royals are going to be pleased at having SHimron Hetmyer available for selection once more and he could immediately make his way back into the lineup in place of Jimmy Neesham.
Hetmyer has been the best death overs batsman in IPL 2022 with 230 runs to his name in the last five overs at a strike rate of 201.
His presence will only add to a batting lineup that is firing on all cylinders. Jos Buttler is having the second-best IPL batting season of all time, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Devdutt Padikkal have improved their games remarkably, and Sanju Samson is in fine form as well.
No team has hit more sixes than RR (112 so far) and the use of intelligent T20 tactics by Sanju Samson must also get a mention.
The bowling attack looks very well balanced with Yuzvendra Chahal, Trent Boult, R Ashwin, and Prasidha Krishna. The fifth bowler could be Obed McCoy, another superb T20 bowler that becomes more effective in slow conditions.
Likely XI: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Jos Buttler, Sanju Samson (c & wk), Devdutt Padikkal, Shimron Hetmyer, Riyan Parag, Ravichandran Ashwin, Trent Boult, Prasidh Krishna, Yuzvendra Chahal, Obed McCoy

Chennai Super Kings (CSK):
CSK has endured a terrible season with just four wins in thirteen matches. This is the worst season for CSK in IPL history. It can be hard to find things that go right in such seasons and that is the case with CSK as well.
The team has been trying to make changes and get its act together but nothing seemed to work.
From a betting point of view, betting on CSK is tricky because the team is going to be making some changes to its playing eleven (in all likelihood). N Jagadeesan, Prashant Solanki, and Matheesha Pathirana played the previous match and are all likely to feature once more.
No disrespect to any of these players but they are still finding their feet at this level. CSK is up against one of the strongest teams in IPL 2022 and these youngsters are going to find it tough to cope.
Also, the fact that Ruturaj Gaikwad, Devon Conway, and Meen Ali have been very inconsistent has also hurt CSK.
We worry about the batting effort if CSK loses a couple of early wickets and the bowling looks to be extremely weak as well. You can never count out individual brilliance, especially when every team is filled with international superstars, but CSK’s team just does not compare with RR at the moment.
Likely XI: Ruturaj Gaikwad, Devon Conway, Robin Uthappa, Moeen Ali, Shivam Dube, Ambati Rayudu, MS Dhoni (c & wk), Mitchell Santner, Prashant Solanki, Matheesha Pathirana, Mukesh Choudhary
