IPL 2025: RCB vs CSK, Match 52 – M Chinnaswamy Stadium today weather forecast & pitch report
CSK have already been eliminated from the race to the playoffs.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Chennai Super Kings will take on each other in the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Saturday, May 3. The two sides already met at Chepauk once this season. RCB emerged victorious by 50 runs in that encounter.
RCB had a mixed start to their season. However, they picked up momentum from the halfway stage. They come into this game on the back of three consecutive victories. A win against their arch-rivals would almost guarantee the hosts a spot in the playoffs.
On the other hand, it has been a season to forget for CSK. They went on a five-game winless streak after winning their season opener against Mumbai Indians. Their only other victory came against Lucknow Super Giants, a five-wicket win which came with three balls to spare.
Pitch Report
The Chinnaswamy has traditionally been a paradise for batters. However, the same cannot be said as far as this season is concerned. The pitch has acted a little two-paced in nature. Only one of the four contests played this season has been truly rewarding for batters here.Weather Report
