IPL 2022: Match 68, RR vs CSK Match Prediction – Who will win today’s IPL match between Rajasthan and Chennai

The defending champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will face the strong-looking Rajasthan Royals (RR) in their last group stage encounter of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. While RR secured a place in the playoffs after beating the new entrants Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in their previous match, the Yellow Army lost their last contest against Gujarat Titans (GT).

The encounter between RR and CSK will be played at the Brabourne Stadium, Mumbai on May 20 (Friday). While the Royals will be boosted with the inclusion of their star batter Shimron Hetmyer, CSK might also look to make a few changes in their squad considering this is their last match in IPL 2022.

England batter Jos Buttler is currently the top run-getter in IPL 2022. The right-handed batter has stroked a total of 627 runs at an excellent average of 52.25. However, Buttler has not been at his best for the past few encounters and will like to play a big knock in the upcoming match.
