Impact on the Match
The M. Chinnaswamy Stadium has already experienced rain interruptions earlier in IPL 2025, with RCB’s match against Punjab Kings (PBKS) being reduced to 14 overs per side due to wet conditions. If rain persists, the match could face similar disruptions or even a complete washout.
However, Bengaluru’s SubAir drainage system is one of the best in the country, and it is capable of clearing water quickly. If rain stops before 9 or 10 PM, the ground staff could prepare the pitch for a shortened contest.
With Royal Challengers Bengaluru just a win away from all but confirming their spot in the IPL 2025 Playoffs, RCB vs CSK will be a crucial match. RCB have already lost a rain-curtailed match in Bengaluru.
As for Chennai Super Kings, they are playing for pride after exiting the playoff race. As the Lions are wounded, they will pounce on RCB.
