On Tuesday, Chennai Super Kings will face Royal Challengers Bangalore in the 22nd match of the IPL 2022. Royal Challengers Bangalore will try to maintain their momentum following their victory over rivals Mumbai Indians in their previous encounter, which moved them to fourth position in the points standings. Chennai Super Kings, on the other side, suffered their fourth consecutive defeat and are yet to win a match this season. They are now bottom of the table, and unless they choose to leave it too late, this will be a do-or-die game for them. This seems to be settings for a mouth watering clash.
The match is scheduled to take place on the 12th of April, 2022 at the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy, Mumbai.
Chennai Super Kings vs Royal Challengers Bangalore Match 22 – Pitch Report
This surface has aided quick bowlers and been quite sporty in the past, and today may be no different. There is a healthy layer of energetic grass there, and there will be plenty of speed and bounce available. However, this may be a double-edged sword. Batting first may not be such a bad idea after all.

Chennai Super Kings vs Royal Challengers Bangalore Match 22 – Players to Watch
Faf du Plessis
The RCB skipper has been leading from the front and his batting displays have not waned in the slightest. He seems to command respect inside the dressing room, which is reflecting on the pitch as the team is working as a unit and getting those wins under their belt. As far as his personal statistics are concerned, Faf has scored 138 runs from the 4 matches that he has played and with the CSK bowlers struggling, he will be looking to punish them for some big runs as well.
Wanindu Hasaranga
He is turning out to be the signing of the season for the RCB. Yes, he is capable with the bat when required, but so far, he has been absolutely dominant with the ball, scalping 8 wickets from 4 games and is also in the running for the purple cap. He is now an automatic choice for the RCB lineup and we expect him to cause some serious problems for the CSK players.
Dwayne Bravo
He is currently the only player who is really making an impact in the CSK camp. Yes their batsmen have been firing but it is Dwayne who has tried his best to keep his team in the contest in every game. He has claimed 6 wickets from the 4 matches played and is also now the death bowler. If anyone can lead a turn around for CSK, it is him.
