Watch the live stream of Royal Challengers Bangalore v Chennai Super Kings in the 2013 IPL here.
In the last match of the league stage for these two sides Royal Challengers Bangalore must beat Chennai Super Kings to have any hope if making the play-offs.
Successive defeats have left RCB chasing Sunrisers Hyderabad for fourth place and it is looking increasingly more difficult for Virat Kohli’s side following Sunrisers’ win over Rajasthan Royals on Friday.
The victory for Hyderabad has put them two points ahead of Bangalore heading into these final matches so nothing but triumph will do for the home franchise.
However, they probably couldn’t have been pitted against tougher opponents as CSK are the most successful team in IPL history.
Although MS Dhoni’s men have already qualified for the play-offs themselves a win for them would keep up the chase for top spot with current leaders Mumbai Indians.
There is also an individual battle set to take place in this tie as batsmen Chris Gayle and Mike Hussey compete for the coveted Orange Cap award for most runs in the tournament.
Royal Challengers’ Gayle currently leads the rankings with 680 but Chennai’s Hussey is a close second with 640.
Of course elimination for RCB would effectively hand the award to the Australian as he would have at least one extra innings to get past the West Indian.
In IPL terms it doesn’t really get much bigger than this.
