RR vs DC, MI vs CSK: Today’s IPL match prediction
RR vs DC: It could turn out to be a toss-up between the batting might of both teams. If Buttler misses out, it would be a big setback for RR, and the odds might shift towards DC.
MI vs CSK: CSK would fancy their chances against an off-colour MI team, but the absence of Stokes could make things complicated for them. However, given their depth and the form of key players, they do seem to hold the edge.
