IPL 2025 Match 8 CSK vs RCB Match Prediction, Fantasy Cricket, Head to Head

On Friday, March 28, at Chennai's storied MA Chidambaram Stadium, the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will square off in Match 8 of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL 2025). 

RCB's comeback victory in their final league match eliminated CSK from the previous season. The team led by Ruturaj Gaikwad wants to perform well this time. In the first game, RCB's new era under skipper Rajat Patidar got off to a winning start against KKR after falling behind for the first ten overs, only for Krunal Pandya to break the back of KKR's batting.

MA Chidambaram Stadium Pitch Report:

In recent years, the track at Chennai's MA Chidambaram Stadium has been extremely sluggish, two-paced, and lower-scoring, favoring spinners over pacers. The ball caught and came onto the bat slowly in the last game played here. Both teams will try to limit the other to a smaller score and hunt it down later. In the previous edition, the average first-inning score was about 170.

Weather Report:

It is not anticipated that rain will stop the CSK vs. RCB game in Chennai. Throughout the game, the temperature is predicted to remain in the late 30s.
