Rajasthan Royals Preview: Rock bottom
Rajasthan Royals come into Sunday’s double-header right down at the bottom of the table. They’ve lost each of their opening two matches so far and their desperately poor net-run-rate is what sees them stuck in tenth-place. The Royals continue to lack potency, taking just eight wickets over the course of their two games played.
Chennai Super Kings Preview: RCB misfire
Aside from Rachin Ravindra, Chennai Super Kings’ top order batters just didn’t turn up against Royal Challengers Bengaluru last time out in Chepauk. Chasing 197 for victory, CSK could only manage 146/8 in response despite MS Dhoni’s late fireworks down the order, which absolutely thrilled the crowd in the process.
Rajasthan Royals Betting Analysis
Riyan Parag’s big hitting with the bat drew plenty of admirers last time out for Rajasthan Royals, although it did come in a losing cause. Parag struck three maximums against Kolkata Knight Riders in his side’s eventual eight-wicket loss, but it would be no surprise to see him pick up where he left off in the Royals’ next game. Back Parag to strike over 0.5 match sixes.
Chennai Super Kings Betting Analysis
Spin-bowler Noor Ahmad continues to excite for CSK, taking seven wickets across the team’s two league fixtures so far, more than any other player at the time of writing. Picking him and hitting against him is so difficult and it’s hard to not see Ahmad maintaining his good form with the ball in CSK’s next match, away to Rajasthan.
Rajasthan Royals vs Chennai Super Kings Expert Prediction
When taking into account how poor Chennai Super Kings looked against RCB, Rajasthan Royals should see this as a golden opportunity to get their first points of the 2025 IPL campaign. The Royals have too good of a squad to not come back strongly after their slow start and it’s worth considering a play on Rajasthan to narrowly triumph.
