The home team, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), are facing off against the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. After winning the toss in Match 52 of the IPL 2025, CSK skipper MS Dhoni opted to bowl first.
RCB openers Jacob Bethell and Virat Kohli unleashed a fiery start by taking full advantage of the powerplay. The duo added 71 runs in the first six overs and went on to post a 97-run partnership off just 59 balls. The left-hander was the first to fall after scoring 55 off 33 balls, dismissed by a brilliant running catch from Dewald Brevis. The Indian veteran continued the rampage with a knock of 62 runs off 33 deliveries.
After the openers were dismissed, CSK bowlers regained control during the middle overs by tightening their lines and lengths to restrict the flow of runs. RCB seemed to be losing momentum, but Romario Shepherd turned the game around in the death overs.
The West Indian lit up the stadium with a display of power-hitting, smashing the second-fastest half-century in IPL history by reaching the milestone in just 14 balls. His innings included four boundaries and six sixes. In the penultimate over, bowled by Khaleel Ahmed, Shepherd smashed 32 runs and followed up with 20 more in the final over, bowled by Matheesha Pathirana. He finished unbeaten on 53* off just 14 balls, at a strike rate of 378.57, taking RCB to a formidable total of 213 for 5.
CSK needed to chase 214 runs to avenge their earlier loss to RCB at Chepauk. Meanwhile, RCB will aim to secure a crucial win in front of their home crowd and climb up the points table.
