The much‑anticipated southern derby heads to M Chinnaswamy Stadium as Royal Challengers Bengaluru face Chennai Super Kings. RCB enter the game after a dominant start to their title defence, highlighted by a 202‑run chase in 16 overs, while CSK, who have lost their first two matches, are desperate for a win.
Bengaluru’s weather is clear with temperatures around 28 °C, and the pitch offers short boundaries and a quick outfield that favours batters, making high totals likely.
