IPL 2020, Match 44: RCB vs CSK head to head and playing 11 prediction

In match 44 of the Indian Premier League 2020 (IPL 2020), Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will take on Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the  Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Sunday.

It's almost done for MS Dhoni's CSK in this year's IPL with the team managing just three wins in eleven games. Their batting and bowling units haven't really clicked despite several tweaks.

CSK may just bring in some changes to give chance to players who haven't played to far.

Royal Challengers Bangalore are just one win away from a playoff spot. Skipper Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers are in good touch and with the bowlers complementing the batting line-up. 

RCB demolished KKR's batting in its previous clash and the team would be upbeat to clinch two more points to seal its spot for the playoffs while CSK would look to play for its reputation.
