Royal Challengers Bengaluru led by Faf Du Plessis are set to lock horns against the joint most successful team of the Indian Premier League - Chennai Super Kings in the 68th game of IPL 2024 on 18th May at Bengaluru's M.Chinnaswamy Stadium. With the T20 league reaching it's business end, the Southern - Derby can prove to be a do or die game if one of Lucknow Super Giants and Sunrisers Hyderabad end up finishing at 14 points.



CSK and RCB played against each other in the opening game of the 17th edition of IPL and in that game, the Men in Yellow triumphed over the Bengaluru based team by six wickets.



CSK are currently on a three match winning streak against RCB and the home team will be looking to end the Men in Yellow's Dominance against them by defeating them on Saturday and stay alive in the race of the playoffs. Bengaluru's former skipper Virat Kohli is having a great outing with the bat in IPL 2024 having amassed 661 runs in 13 games and he's the current holder of the orange cap as well.



Cricket fans all around the globe are looking forward to this highly anticipated clash but there's some bad news as the weather of Bengaluru is not looking good and the Rain Gods might play spoilsport in the RCB vs CSK encounter.

According to the reports of AccuWeather, the chances of rainfall interfering with the game on the 18th of May are really high and the match might end up getting washed out due to rain. If the match gets abandoned due to rain, both the teams will then share one point each with each other and if that happens, then the Royal Challengers Bengaluru will effectively get eliminated from the race of playoffs.



AccuWeather says the weather is anticipated to be cloudy and thunderstorms are anticipated to take place during the afternoon period on 18th May. Alongside the thunderstorm, heavy rainfall is expected in the evening and it could affect the chances of the CSK RCB match taking place properly.



The chances of cloud cover are 99% while the precipitation chances are 73%.

RCB vs CSK IPL 2024: The biggest match for RCB and CSK in the league stage is under the threat of rain and thunderstorms. Royal Challengers Bangalore are all set to host Chennai Super Kings in the 68th Match of TATA IPL 2024 at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. In this post, you will read the Weather Forecast, Rain Prediction for Bengaluru, and the possibility of Rain Interrupting the RCB vs CSK Match.

One last dance for RCB if the weather god allows them to show their skills in the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. They can qualify for the playoffs if they win the game and not just a win, this time they need to win by 18 runs or chase it before 18.1 overs to seal the moments. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/03/IPL-2024-CSK-Defeated-GT-by-Massive-63-runs.jpg" alt="IPL 2024: CSK Defeated GT by Massive 63 runs, A Complete Dominating Performance | CSK vs GT Match Highlights" class="wp-image-128561" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">IPL 2024 | Image Credit: X.com(@IPL)</figcaption></figure>



Chennai Super Kings, on the other hand, will be completely relaxed even if the match gets halted by the poor weather conditions. They are sure to make the qualification if the rain interrupts the party, if they win, and even if they lose by less than 18 runs or can defend the target up to 18.2 balls. They are currently having a good Net Run Rate that has provided them a huge advantage in this game.



It has been a fairy tale the way RCB are on the doorstep of the Playoff qualification. Broken and disappointed by 7 losses in the first 8 matches, and they won the next 5 in a row, and now all it hung up on nature's will.

Yet, if rain were to disrupt this pivotal clash in Bengaluru, it would spell doom for RCB's playoff dreams, as both teams would walk away with a mere solitary point. The skies are poised to weep, with The Weather Channel India predicting an ominous 80% chance of precipitation, and the threat of fierce thunderstorms looming over M. Chinnaswamy Stadium come Saturday evening.



Below are the full details of the Weather Forecast, Rain Prediction for Bengaluru, and the possibility of Rain Interrupting the RCB vs CSK Match:

The chances of rain are high at 100% during the day and around 70% at night of the match day. The weather forecast reflects heavy rainfall before the match and during the match timing. So, more possibilities are of match being affected by rain. 



M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, however, has the best drainage system but if clouds didn't stop pouring tears, it wouldn't be useful. Hopefully, we could see some action on the field with the final showdown.
