IPL Match Today, RCB vs KKR: Weather-Pitch Report, Live Cricket Score Streaming Online and Telecast Details
IPL 2025, RCB vs KKR Live Cricket Score Streaming Online, Pitch-Weather Forecast Report: As the Indian Premier League returns after a mini pause, Royal Challengers Bengaluru take on Kolkata Knight Riders at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on Saturday. The hosts have had a good season thus far and would look to resume the same after the break. Kolkata, on the other hand, needs to pile on some wins to stay in the playoff race.
The pitch in Bengaluru has been conducive for batting. However, at times teams bowling first did find a bit of seam movement and the wicket has behaved two-paced. However, as the evening went on, conditions got easier for batting, which meant that teams bowling first always had an advantage. If the openers of the teams batting first can see off the new ball in the first innings, it has been a batting paradise thereafter and teams have been able to score competitive totals even in the first innings.
The weather for Saturday is not looking promising as there are a couple of thunderstorms expected according to the Accuweather App. The maximum temperature is expected to be 31 degrees Celsius for the day, and the minimum is expected to be 21 degrees Celsius.

Chinnaswamy Stadium stampede puts focus on proposals to move cricket stadium to new location on outskirts of Bengaluru
The stampede at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on June 4 during the celebration of the first-ever IPL victory for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) cricket team has once again raised questions over the location of the cricket stadium in the heart of the city. In arguments in the Karnataka High Court in a suo motu case taken up by the court over the stampede deaths, the state advocate general informed that the cause of the stampede was the nearly 2.5 lakh fans trying to access the stadium, which can accommodate 33,000 fans. 'The event (at the stadium) was organised on behalf of RCB by DNA Event Management. KSCA (Karnataka State Cricket Association) is in charge of the stadium. All the security is provided by them in the stadium. All the deaths happened at the entry gates of the stadium. The problem is that 33,000 people were expected – which is the capacity of the stadium – but 2.5 lakh people turned out,' Advocate General K M Shashikiran Shetty told the Karnataka HC last week. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah was asked on June 8 by the media in Mysuru – in the wake of the Chinnaswamy Stadium stampede – whether the government has plans to move the cricket stadium to the outskirts of the city. The chief minister, who is an avid cricket enthusiast and often watches matches at the stadium, responded that 'the government will look into this matter'. According to a senior state official, 'The long-term solution to prevent incidents like the stampede is the relocation of the cricket stadium to a higher capacity facility somewhere on the outskirts of the city.' The president of the association of walkers at Cubbon Park, which is located opposite the Chinnaswamy Stadium, has also called for reclaiming the stadium by the Indian Army on account of the land originally belonging to the Karnataka sub-area of the army. 'It is also brought to your kind notice that the onus is also on the Karnataka Sub Area as the stadium land and wireless office situated (nearby) belongs to the army. There is no document to show transfer of the land by the Army to the state government or to KSCA by the Army,' S Umesh, president of the walkers' association, stated in a June 8 letter to the police. The KSCA, in fact, acquired 33 acres of land at Alur, off the Tumkur Road, around 25 km from the heart of Bengaluru, to develop new facilities in the early 2000s, but the now fully developed grounds are only used by academies like the RCB-KSCA academy and for tier 2 international matches. The facility does not have stands for fans to watch games. The KSCA facility at Alur near the Golden Palms resort is known as the Three Ovals KSCA Stadium on account of the presence of three cricket fields known as the Platinum Oval, Golden Oval, and Silver Oval. The facility has 22 practice pitches and indoor facilities. It hosted its first-ever match in 2011, and the RCB-KSCA academy moved to the location subsequently. During the tenure of former India captain Anil Kumble as the KSCA president in 2013, a Platinum Jubilee Pavilion linking the Golden Oval and the Silver Oval pavilions was inaugurated. At the time, the KSCA management had indicated that the KSCA stadium in the heart of Bengaluru would continue to be used for full-fledged international matches while the Alur stadium would be used for domestic and other tier 2 international matches. An India A vs South Africa A team match was played at the Alur KSCA ground in 2018. 'The ground at Alur is also now virtually within the city of Bengaluru. There is now a proposal for the KSCA to build a full-fledged stadium near Tumkur (around 60 km from the city),' a government official said after the June 4 stampede incident at the Chinnaswamy Stadium.

BCCI forms three-member committee after Bengaluru stampede, guidelines for victory celebrations to be issued after...
The Royal Challengers Bengaluru's (RCB) maiden IPL celebration win was marred by the lives of 11 fans which happened due to the stampede that occurred outside the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. 33 people were also left injured and taking notice of this incident, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has decided to constitute a three-member committee to formulate comprehensive guidelines aimed at preventing such occurrences in the future. The three-member committee comprises Devajit Saikia, Rajeev Shukla, and Prabhtej Bhatia. Saikia will chair this committee. The guidelines for victory celebrations will be formulated within the next 15 days. This decision was taken during the board's Apex Council Meeting on Saturday. RCB had previously won the IPL 2025 edition after beating Punjab Kings in the final by six runs at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The 2025–26 domestic will begin with the Duleep Trophy on August 28, 2025 and conclude with the Senior Women's Inter-Zonal Multi-Day Trophy (April 3, 2026). The Duleep Trophy and Senior Women's Challenger tournaments will now be contested between six zonal teams selected by zonal selectors. Plate Group restructuring has been introduced across age categories. For limited-overs tournaments, the bottom 6 teams (based on the previous season's rankings) will be placed in the Plate Group. The BCCI has also introduced the relegation and promotion system. From now on, only one team will be promoted and relegated in each Senior Men's competition. The Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and Senior Women's T20 Trophy will now include a Super League stage instead of a traditional knockout. Major tournaments such as Vijay Hazare Trophy, Senior Women's One Day Trophy, and Men's U23 State A Trophy will follow a 4 Elite Groups + 1 Plate Group model. Most junior and women's tournaments (U16, U19, U23) have moved to a 5 Elite + 1 Plate group structure.
