With the IPL 2025 reaching the end of its league stage, RCB finds itself in a strong position in the points table, sitting in third position with 14 points. RCB needs two points or one win to reach the top of the table, and the team eyed the victory in the RCB vs CSK match scheduled for today on 3 May 2025. However, their dream might get shattered as rain looms around the corner and could affect their golden chance to claim a spot in the playoffs.
Why RCB Needs A Win In RCB Vs CSK?
Finishing at the top of the table is crucial to RCB at this point. As we all know, the team has had a history of stunning performance throughout the tournament and then losing in the end. The top two teams in the IPL standings get two opportunities to reach the final, marking the top spot highly valuable. Mumbai Indians is currently leading the table, followed by Gujarat Titans and then RCB, all three of which have 14 points.

A win against CSK today would put RCB on top with 16 points, boosting their playoff qualification chances and giving them an edge over others as we reach the end of the IPL 2025. With only three more matches to follow, RCB would need one win to guarantee a playoff spot and to ensure a top-two finish. Since CSK is already out of the equation following their disappointing performance in the IPL 2025, it would be much easier to secure a win in the RCB vs CSK than in the other two matches.

What Would Happen If Rain Disrupts The Game?
Weather forecasts suggest rain could disrupt the much-anticipated RCB vs CSK clash since Bengaluru has experienced rain over the last few days. If the match is washed out, both teams will share a point each, leaving RCB with only 15 points. While this still keeps them in the top four, it delays their qualification chances.
If rain denies today’s match, RCB will need to win at least one of their last three games to secure a playoff spot. The next matches are against LSG and SRH, which could be harder to win given their improved form as compared to CSK. Whatever the fate decides, we are here to update, so stay tuned.
