Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will be locking horns against each other in the 52nd game of IPL 2025. The RCB vs CSK match is scheduled to be played at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Saturday (May 3).
RCB are all but assured of a place in the playoffs and will be eyeing another win to bolster their chances of a top-two finish. They are currently at the top spot in the points table with 7 wins from 10 games.
RCB had qualified for the playoffs with exactly 7 wins last year and now have the opportunity to finish in the top two.

On the other hand, CSK have become the first team to be eliminated this season. The five-time champions are languishing at the bottom of the points table with just 2 wins from 10 games.
CSK now only have pride to play for, and they will be looking to end their campaign on a high. They also have the chance to spoil the party for a few teams and will be eager to do so.
The upcoming RCB vs CSK game will be the second meeting between the two teams this season. Earlier this season, CSK had hosted RCB in Chennai and lost the game by 50 runs. It was RCB’s first win against CSK in Chennai since 2008, and they will be confident of beating them once again.
The momentum is also with the Bengaluru-based outfit. RCB are coming into this game on the back of an impressive 6-wicket win over Delhi Capitals. Chasing 163 runs, RCB were reeling at 26/3 before half-centuries from Virat Kohli and Krunal Pandya guided them to the impressive victory.
On the other hand, CSK are coming into this game after suffering a 4-wicket defeat at the hands of Punjab Kings. Batting first, CSK posted a competitive total of 190. However, PBKS chased down the total with 2 balls remaining to knock CSK out of IPL 2025.
The rivalry has been pretty much dominated by CSK so far. Out of the 34 games between the two teams so far, RCB have won just 12 while CSK have won 21. One match between the two sides ended in a no-result.
RCB vs CSK Toss winner likely to choose: Bowl first
With the conditions in Bengaluru likely to favour the batsmen, both teams will be looking to bowl first. There is also a prediction for rain, and both teams will be looking to chase.
