Tonight, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will take on Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in a riveting IPL 2025 clash. The game is scheduled at the iconic M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. 

M Chinnaswamy Stadium Weather Likely To Affect RCB vs CSK Match

CSK and RCB enjoy a fierce rivalry in the Indian Premier League. While CSK have won 22 matches, the Red Brigade have managed only eleven victories despite giving the yellow army a run for their money. 

However, the upcoming face-off between RCB and CSK might be interrupted due to rain, with inclement weather conditions set to play spoilsport in the riveting clash. According to AccuWeather, there's a 43 per cent chance of precipitation at the venue; so, we might witness several rain interruptions or even an abandoned affair at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. 

As rain threat looms large on RCB vs CSK match, here's a list of all IPL matches that have been abandoned at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium.
