RCB and CSK are all set to lock horns at the Chinnaswamy stadium on Saturday, May 3 in the South Indian derby. This is the second time both teams will face off in IPL 2025 and the season has been polar opposites for Bengaluru and Chennai.
RCB find themselves closer to the top of the table after an impressive campaign with seven wins out of 10 matches played. For CSK, it has been a woeful campaign that has seen the side fail to compete with the rest. The five-time champions find themselves rooted to the bottom of the table with just four points from 10 matches and they were knocked out of the competition with the loss to PBKS.
Despite the contrasting form, RCB vs CSK is considered to be an exciting encounter given the rivalry between both fanbases. However, things aren’t looking a lot better when it comes to the weather in Bengaluru for Saturday.
RCB vs CSK: May 3 Bengaluru weather forecast
There has been incessant rain in Bengaluru over the last couple of days and it is expected to continue on Saturday as well. There is a 70 percent chance of rain on May 3 and the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) is predicting that “rain or thundershowers would occur towards afternoon or evening” on Saturday.
According to Accuweather, thunderstorms are expected at 5 pm and then from 8 to 10 pm on Saturday.
Rain played a big role on the eve of the game as CSK and RCB’s training sessions were heavily affected. This is not the first time rain has played a role in a match in Bengaluru this season.
RCB’s match against PBKS was shortened due to heavy rain on the day. Given the predictions on Saturday, we could be in for a shortened match at the Chinnaswamy stadium.
