The 52nd match of the IPL 2025 season will see Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) square off against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the iconic M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. Chennai Super Kings, currently languishing at the bottom of the points table, have had a disappointing season so far with just two wins from ten games and eight losses. With no chances of making the playoffs, the team will be playing for pride as they aim to finish their campaign on a high note. Their most recent outing ended in a defeat to the Punjab Kings. On the other hand, RCB have been in excellent form, sitting comfortably in second place with seven victories and three losses in their ten matches. After a convincing win against the Delhi Capitals, they will look to maintain their momentum and solidify their position in the top four. So far in IPL 2025, the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru has hosted four matches, and unlike its reputation in previous seasons, it hasn't been a complete paradise for batters. The average batting score per dismissal stands at 25.8, with a scoring rate of 8.9 runs per over. The average first-innings total is around 158, indicating a more balanced contest between bat and ball.
