Chennai Super Kings are struggling at 106 for the loss of 6 wickets after 10 overs. CSK are chasing a massive total of 251 against the RCB in Bengaluru.

CSK needed a fast start with the bat in the powerplay to stand any chance of scoring 250 runs. However, the visitors lost skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad early in the innings, and soon Sanju Samson was dismissed too.

Ayush Mhatre, the young star of the team, was dismissed for just 1, as CSK were reeling at 30 runs for the loss of 3 wickets after the third over.

Sarfaraz Khan played a blinder to give the visitors hope before being dismissed by Krunal Pandya. Khan scored 50 runs in just 25 balls to give CSK a lifeline back into the game. However, with wickets falling around, the visitors have a mammoth task of scoring at over 13 runs per over in the last 10 overs.

For RCB, Jacob Duffy starred with the ball, giving the hosts early wickets yet again. The Kiwi star took two early wickets, of both CSK openers, to help RCB gain momentum in the second innings.

Krunal Pandya was brilliant with the ball too, getting 2 wickets in his opening over. The left-arm pacer used his variety to put RCB in a promising position going into the final few overs of the match.
