Bengaluru, October 10: Royal Challengers Bangalore will take on Chennai Super Kings in an IPL 2020 match on Saturday (October 10). The path in front of them is clear. Both need win. Royal Challengers were beaten by Delhi Capitals quite comprehensively, while the Super Kings squandered a chance to beat Kolkata Knight Riders, going down by 10 runs.
In that sense, this match is quite vital for both Royal Challengers and Super Kings. The Virat Kohli-led side has six points and a win will sustain them among the top four. Chennai under MS Dhoni has 4 points and a win will give them a chance to enter top four, and a defeat will add pressure on them.
