Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Royal Challengers Bengalur (RCB) will face each other in match 52 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 on Saturday 3rd May at the stadium of M Chinnaswamy in Bengalur.
RCB Rajat Patidar must look forward to the upcoming clash. They have a chance to get their best place in the table and the edges closer to Play -off. While they were flawless in the games, they won six out of six, they must show a little more consistency in home games.
After losing three games in Bengalur, RCB tasted his first victory in front of his home crowd, defeating Rajasthana Royals by 11 runs on the back of Josh Hazlewood in the penultimate course of RR.
Super Kings, on the other side, became the first team to be excluded from the competition. The men of Mrs. Dhoni will play pride in the last four games of the competition. After they have lost their last three games, they fight at the bottom of the table with a clean running speed of -1.211.
But with nothing to lose, it could be a dangerous prospect for RCBs who have everything they lose. RCB, however, could draw inspiration from their 50-run victory over five times champion at the Ma Chidambarama tournament.
RCB vs CSK: head to head
Super Kings dominated RCB over the years in IPL and won 21 out of 34 matches, while they lost only 11. One match in 2012 in Bengalur did not bring the result. In Chinnaswamy, both teams won five games per piece.
RCB VS CSK: Team News
Phil Salt missed the previous RCB match against DC because he didn’t feel. If it is not suitable, Jacob Bethell will probably retain his place in the XI.
Super Kings have changed their combination many times during the tournament and should not raise eyebrows if they still earn more.
