Royal Challengers Banglaore have not beaten the Super Kings in Chennai since the first season of the Indian Premier League in 2008. But with Starc in the side, anything now seems possible for RCB, who are coming off a dramatic comeback win in a rain-truncated 10-over match against Kolkata Knight Riders.
In their previous match, Royal Challengers appeared well on the way to a victory over second-place Rajasthan Royals, hammering 200 runs in the first innings. But then rains arrived and washed out not only Starc’s chance to bowl, but that second point for Bangalore, who split the two points with their opponents in the no-result.
On the other hand, the Chennai Super Kings, despite sitting atop the IPL with 12 points at 6-3, suddenly appear to be sputtering. In their last outing they dropped a 22-run decision to Sunrisers Hyderabad.
