RCB gears up for crucial May 23 clash against SRH amid rain concerns

As the IPL 2025 heads into its final leg, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) have already secured a spot in the play-offs, sparking jubilant celebrations among fans and players alike. The joy of qualification is still fresh, especially since RCB hasn't played a match since the league resumed. The team is now focused on making a strong comeback.

RCB’s next match is scheduled against Sunrisers Hyderabad on May 23 at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. This fixture is crucial as RCB still has two league matches left—against Hyderabad and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). Winning both would significantly boost their chances of finishing at the top of the table, giving them two opportunities to reach the final.

Their last scheduled game against Kolkata Knight Riders on May 17 was unfortunately washed out due to rain. Weather remains a concern, with Bengaluru experiencing evening showers consistently over the past week. There’s a possibility that rain could again disrupt proceedings on May 23.

If weather permits, the toss will take place at 7:00 PM, followed by the match at 7:30 PM. With so much at stake, fans will be hoping for clear skies and another thrilling performance from the high-spirited RCB squad as they chase IPL glory.
