The 24th match in the continuous IPL 2023 will see a high-voltage conflict between Illustrious Challengers Bangalore and Chennai Super Lords at M Chinnaswamy Arena in Bengaluru. Despite winning two of the tournament’s four matches, neither team has been able to establish itself as the dominant force. As a result, whoever wins the next one will not only be able to boast about their accomplishments, but most importantly, they will also stand a chance to advance to the top four.

While Warner is really the second-most elevated scorer in the opposition with 228 runs, his drowsy strike-pace of 116 well shy of what is expected from players on gobs of cash in this advanced game.
