9. Final Match Prediction
Both teams come into this fixture with plenty at stake. CSK will rely on experience and spin depth, while RR have the momentum and a more balanced bowling attack. Delhi’s pitch might slightly favor spinners, which puts CSK in contention. However, based on recent form and head-to-head dominance:
Predicted Winner: Rajasthan Royals
If CSK can get early wickets and restrict the powerplay damage from Jaiswal and Samson, they stand a fighting chance. Expect a tight contest.
