Match Preview 

For the second time in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) are set to take on Chennai Super Kings (CSK). This time, though, both sides are at different ends of the table, with RCB on the cusp of the playoffs, while CSK is already out of the tournament. It has been an amazing season so far for RCB but the same cannot be said about CSK, who became the first team to be eliminated from the tournament. The game against Bengaluru will act as a spur for many CSK players to end their season on a high with a possible win. 

Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Chennai Super Kings Team Analysis: 

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB)

Rajat Patidar and his RCB side finally seem to have found the perfect recipe with the bat and ball. After their loss to Punjab Kings at home in a rain-shortened encounter, RCB have won three successive games, which also includes one win at home. With a win against CSK on Saturday, RCB will move to the top spot in the table and also more or less confirm their place in the playoffs. 

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) 

Five-time IPL winners Chennai Super Kings have played their worst cricket this season and became the first side to be eliminated. MS Dhoni and his side will just play for pride and this could make the encounter on Saturday a very interesting affair. With four games to play, CSK will want to string a few wins together and possibly move out of the bottom of the table. The emergence of Dewald Brevis and Sam Curran’s return to form will be a huge bonus for Chennai.

M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Pitch Report

Out of the four games that have been played at this venue, three matches have been won by teams batting second. The only game that went in favour of the side batting first was when RCB beat RR by 11 runs. Win the toss and bowl first will be the mantra for both the captains. With rain predicted for the next three days, one could see some sort of curtailment making it easier for the team batting second. Bengaluru has always produced high-scoring encounters and one can expect the same in the RCB vs CSK game on Saturday.
