CSK vs RCB Live Score and Updates: Virat Kohli's Men in Red Royal Challengers Bangalore(RCB) will go up next against their arch-rivals MS Dhoni's Chennai Super Kings(CSK) in a high-profile clash at Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai tonight. This is the second match of the day as KKR take on Kings XI in the first match at Sheikh Zayed International Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi. In-form Royal Challengers will face off the out of form Super Kings tonight, so it seems to be an interesting rivalry between these two captains. The Bangalore-based franchise RCB is in great touch thus far, however, they lost their previous game against Delhi Capitals. CSK, on the other hand, lost their 4 matches till now and they have the worst season so far and they are currently standing at the below in the table with just 4 points, So, Super Kings are searching for a desperate win here against in-form Royal Challengers but it won't be an easy task for them as Virat Kohli and Co are doing a quite brilliant job with both bat and ball.

Virat Kohli-led Royal Challengers Bangalore emerged victorious over MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings in the 25th match of the Indian Premier League.
Another wicket that's the result of clever bowling. Rayudu moved to early exposing the whole of his stumps. Udana opts to go for the slower ball and although it's a full toss, Rayudu is done in by the change of pace.
Morris gets a wicket on his debut. After Dhoni's departure, CSK had high hopes from Curran, but Morris sent back the England international cheaply. Chennai Super Kings are in big trouble.
Chahal finally gets his first wicket of the match and what an occasion to get. Dhoni hits hard two long-off but the ball lands straight into Gurkeraat Singh hands. In Chahal vs Dhoni battle, Chahal had the last laugh. CSK need 64 runs from 24 balls
CSK Captain Dhoni has failed to chase the total in the previous encounters this season. Right now situation almost the same as of previous matches. Dhoni has the chance to redeem and change the unpopular opinion in his favour.
The dangerous-looking partnership of Rayudu and Jagadeesan is finally broken and how unlucky Jagadeesan is. A direct hit by Morris and he takes a long walk back to the Pavilion. N Jagadeesan run out (Chris Morris) 33(28) [4s-4]
After the departure of both the opening batsmen, Rayudu and Jagadeesan have stabilised the CSK innings. The pair has completed 50 runs partnership. Now the only thing they need to do is hike up the current run rate. CSK 75/2 in 13 overs
Virat Kohli has brought his seamer back to the attack. One more wicket for RCB and CSK would be in a lot of pressure. Saini is the right man who can provide a breakthrough to his team.
With half of the overs completed, Royal Challengers Bangalore have dominated the first half of the second innings. Chennai Super Kings are 47/2 in 10 overs. If they continue to score at this run rate then the required run rate will surely get out of their control.
Royal Challengers Bangalore bowlers have done a brilliant job up to now. CSK have managed to score only 35 runs in 8 overs. Two new batsmen Rayudu and Jagadeesan batting. CSK need a good partnership to come back into the game.
Washington Sundar is on fire here in Dubai. Clever bowling by him deceives Watson who was left clueless as the ball finds the stumps. Watson b Washington Sundar 14(18) [4s-3]
Du Plessis tries to send the ball over the ropes but couldn't connect properly. on the previous delivery on he played the same short and was saved but not this time. An easy catch to Chris Morris. CSK 19/1 after 4 overs
At the end of three overs, CSK are 13/0. Kohli has used three different to bowl first three overs of the innings and it has worked for him. As up to now they have shackled the opening pair of Watson and Du Plessis.
A good first over from Chris Morris just four runs from it. It didn't look like Morris has returned after an injury. Same pace, same precise line length.
First boundary of Chennai super kings innings. Inswinger from Morris, Watson calmly Flicks it for four runs. Watson opens Chennai account
The opening pair of Shane Watson and Faf du Plessis come out to begin the 170 runs chase of Chennai Super Kings.
Debutant Chris Morris to open the RCB bowling attack.
A brilliant finishing by Virat Kohli to provide adequate finishing touch to the RCB innings. Kohlis socres 90* in 52 balls. Chennai Super Kings need 170 runs in 120 balls
Royal Challengers Bangalore captain hits second fifty of the season. Kohli took 39 balls to score half century. He competes hid fifty in a style with a four on thakur delivery. Three more overs to go
Royal Challengers Bangalore have finally the reach the 100 run mark. With just four overs left in the innings. Kohli and Dubey need to spike up the runs per over. Anything less than 15 per over won't work for RCB.
Washington Sundar in an attempt to hit a cut shot gives an easy catch to MS Dhoni behind the stumps. Curran did what his captain asked him to do. Washington Sundar c Dhoni b Sam Curran 10(10) [6s-1]
Curran came back to attack. Kohli tries to flick the ball but a top edge resulted in ball going to fine leg for four. kohli moving towards his second fifty of the season.
A superb strike by Sundar. A pure showcase of technique to send the ball over the boundary. Du Plessis standing at long on could only watch the ball go over him.
A big lose for Royal Challengers Bangalore. There one of the most trusted batsman de Villiers gone for for golden duck. He faced just two balls. Virat Kohli needs to do all the work now.
Devdutt Padikkal who looked settled lost his wicket. I am attempt to increase the run rate Padikkal gave away his wicket. He scored 33 runs in 34 balls. Thakur gets his first wicket of the match.
RCB have scored 65 runs in the first ten overs. Kohli and Padikkal need to accelerate now if they want to set a fighting total on the board. Everyone less than 160-170 is undefendable here in Dubai.
After the departure of Finch, Virat Kohli and Devdutt Padikkal are trying to stablisze the RCB innings. They are aiming to settle down first before going for any biggies.
Superb delivery by Chahar no chance to Finch. Big gap between his bat and leg ball skim pass through to strikes the stumps. Chahar on fire in Dubai.
