Rcb vs cks Match preview
Rajat Patidar, led by RCB, rises with seven wins from 10 games and ranks third on his table with 14 points. With 50 running against CSK in Chepauk, his previous victories broke a 17 -year Jinx and increased his trust. Lock players such as Virat Kohli, Phil Salt and Josh Hazlewood were in the best form and make RCB a challenging unit.
On the other hand, CSK, excluded by Ruturaj Gaikwad, had a gloomy season. CSK won only two matches in 10 games and stopped at the bottom. In spite of their elimination, players like CSK's pride and Mrs. Dhoni and Ravindra Jadeja can make it a competitive conflict.
Last form
Royal Challengers Bengaluru
RCB was in a perfect form and won four of the last five matches. The strokes were consistent, Kohli (443 running in 10 games) and patidar key strokes. Hazlewood (18 small gates in 10 games) led by Bowling, 8.4 economics and PowerPlay was the most restrictive. The last six small door loss to Delhi Capitals was a hiccup, but their general momentum continues to be strong.
Chennai Super Kings
CSK fought by losing eight of 10 matches, including three matches losing line. The worst stroke average and strike rate in the tournament were inconsistent. Sam Curran (PBKS against 47) and Dewald Brevis (SRH from 42 to 25) promised, but the team had no harmony. Noor Ahmad (15 small doors) was the outstanding bowler.
M Chinnaswamy Stadium Field Report
M. Chinnaswamy Stadium is traditionally a short borders and a fast -speed paradise with a rapid outdoor site. However, in IPL 2025, the field offered some help to the pottery. While the sailors find early movement due to moisture, the yarns are turning in the middle sea. The average inning score of this season is around 179 and the seconds are preferred because of Dew, which makes chase easier. Historically, chasing teams won 53 of 97 matches in this place and 42 wins for the first teams. We expect a high -score game, the captains probably prefer to bowl first if they win the throw.

11 playing was estimated
The estimated RCB XI plays
The explosive opener Phil Salt missed the last match because he suffered from fire. Jacob made Bethell output. However, if the salt is suitable, it will return on the bench with Bethell. Other than that, RCB does not make any changes.
Phil Salt/Jacob Bethell, Virat Kohli, Devdutt Padikkal, Rajat Patidar (C), Jitesh Sharma (WK), Tim David, Romario Shepherd, Krunal Pandya, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Yash Based, Josh Hazlewood
Impact Player Options: Suyash Sharma, Rasikh Dar Salam, Manoj Bhandagage, Swapnil Singh
The estimated CSK is playing XI
CSK needs a revision in Play Xi, but does not have spare players. When only four matches have left, you can try new faces such as CSK Andre Siddhaarth or Ramakrishna Ghosh or Vansh Bedi.
Shaik Rasheed, Ayush Mhatre, Sam Curran, Ravindra Jadeja, Dewald Brevis, Shivam Dube, Deepak Hooda, Ms Dhoni (C & WK), Matheesha Pathirana, Noor Ahmad, Khaleel Ahmed
Impact Player Options: Anshul Kambos, Ravichandran Ashwin, Kamlesh Nagarkoti, Ramakrishna Ghosh, Jamie Overton
Rcb vs cks Match estimate
RCB holds the edge due to superior forms, balanced staff and home advantages. While the depths of Kohli and Patidar are very suitable for the conditions of Chinnaswamy, Bowling, especially Hazlewood's PowerPlay dominance, can use CSK's upper row.
CSK's spin-heavy attack on Noor Ahmad and Jadeja may cause difficulties, but it was very inconsistent to publish or chase large sums of strokes. Dew Factor and RCB's chase record (51 victories in 97 games in Chinnaswamy) make them favorites if they first make bowls. If Curran and Brevis shoot, CSK may be a surprise, but RCB's momentum and confidence give them a 70% chance of victory.
Estimated Winner: Royal Challengers Bengaluru
