Royal Challengers Bengaluru are all set to host Chennai Super Kings in the 52nd match of the Indian Premier League at M.Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru on Saturday, May 3. RCB have been in dominant form in the tournament and are eyeing an entry into the playoffs and a possible top-two finish too.
While RCB have been going strong with seven wins in 10 matches, CSK are officially out of the race to the playoffs, with only two wins in their 10 matches.

However, the weather is likely to play a key role and is set to interrupt the fixture at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium.
