How do the teams stack up?
Royal Challengers Bangalore
Good news for RCB is that both Virat Kohli and ABD are in form. Manan Vohra who opened the batting with Quinton de Kock might get another chance to prove. RCB’s bowling is inconsistent, especially at the death overs. Corey Anderson has not used his opportunity well in both the matches he played. Colin de Grandhomme, who is currently in good form, could be a better option. Except for that, the RCB squad is likely to be the same.
RCB Probable Final Playing 11:
Quinton de Kock (WK), Manan Vohra, Virat Kohli (C), AB de Villiers, Mandeep Singh, Colin de Grandhomme, Washington Sundar, Chris Woakes, Umesh Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, Yuzvendra Chahal

CSK owns many game-changing star players and this puts them in a comfortable zone. Shane Watson is doing a good job with the bat and ball and fans will want him to smash a century again. Ambati Rayudu is the big wheel for CSK for he has been consistent. Suresh Raina in good form also gives Chennai the upper hand. Deepak Chahar’s spells with the ball is also awaited. One expected change is David Willey playing in place of Faf du Plessis, else the playing 11 will be the same.
