Match 52 in the 2025 Indian Premier League will see the Royal Challengers Bengaluru taking on the Chennai Super Kings at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on Saturday. RCB lead the league standings, while CSK are bottom of the table. Let’s get into the match prediction.
Royal Challengers’ fans are starting to believe this could finally be their year. Their team is sitting atop the league table with 14 points, and one more win should be enough to secure a playoff spot.
The side from Bengaluru picked up their seventh win of the competition and third in a row last weekend by six wickets against the Delhi Capitals, with Krunal Pandya and Virat Kohli both posting half-centuries.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar notched up 3/33 in the last match and moved into second place in the all-time leading wicket-takers list in the IPL, now on 193 in 185 matches.
Meanwhile, with four points after 10 matches, the Chennai Super Kings will be playing out the remainder of their games in this season’s IPL as a mere formality.
CSK were handed their eighth defeat of the season on Wednesday, losing by four wickets to PBKS despite Sam Curren scoring a brisk 88 off 47 balls batting at number three.
While CSK have dominated this fixture in the past (W21 L12), RCB have won two of the last three matches, including the most recent one by 50 runs on March 28.
