RCB to face Chennai Super Kings on Saturday

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) are set to take on Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on Saturday, May 3. With seven wins and just three losses from ten matches, RCB currently sit at the top of the IPL 2025 points table and are the first team to reach 14 points this season. Riding high on a three-match winning streak, Bengaluru will look to maintain its momentum at home. A victory against CSK would take them to 16 points, virtually securing a playoff berth.

Meanwhile, Chennai Super Kings find themselves in a tough spot, having become the first team to be eliminated from the tournament after their loss to Punjab Kings on April 30. CSK have now suffered three consecutive defeats, and with RCB in top form, the hosts will be confident heading into this clash. When the two teams met earlier this season on March 28 in Chepauk, RCB secured a dominant 50-run win. With four games remaining, every match is crucial for Bengaluru as they push to finish in the top two.
