Qualification Scenarios if the game gets washed out tonight:
-KKR will be out of reckoning for a place in the playoffs.
-RCB will move to 17 points, but a win in at least one of their remaining two matches will be crucial, as 17 points might not be enough to guarantee a top-four finish.

We are now exactly 60 minutes away from the cut-off time for a 5-over contest, which is 10:56 PM IST/Local Time. If this downpour doesn’t ease up soon, we could be staring at an official call-off.

RCB vs KKR Score Update: Bengaluru Pitch Report🏏
The pitch at M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru has traditionally been batting-friendly. However, the venue has offered sporting pitches, with batters and bowlers playing crucial roles in the IPL 2025.
There might not be significant seam movement for the fast bowlers, and the batters could play their shots freely in the powerplay. However, the hit-the-deck pacers might be effective at this venue, and, the spinners could get some turn in the middle overs.
The seamers should vary their pace and try to nail yorkers to avoid getting hit in the slog overs. With both teams containing enough firepower, the toss-winner might opt to field first.

RCB vs KKR Live Scorecard: Dream11 Fantasy Analysis 💵
Virat Kohli
IPL 2025 Form: 505 Runs in 11 Matches
RCB's star batter has been in tremendous form this season, scoring runs consistently at an impressive strike rate of 143.47. Virat Kohli's ability to anchor the innings while maintaining a healthy scoring rate makes him a must-have for fantasy contests.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar
IPL 2025 Form: 12 Wickets in 10 Matches
The experienced Indian pacer has been a consistent performer for RCB this season. Bhuvneshwar Kumar's ability to swing the new ball and execute yorkers at the death, along with an average of 28.25, makes him a valuable fantasy pick for this important encounter.
Krunal Pandya
IPL 2025 Form: 14 Wickets and 97 Runs in 11 Matches
The spin all-rounder has been effective with both bat and ball. Krunal Pandya's ability to pick up crucial wickets in the middle overs and contribute valuable runs lower down the order makes him a versatile fantasy option.

RCB vs KKR Live: Preview 📖
After a brief suspension, the IPL 2025 carnival is back on the road and what better way to restart the action than a blockbuster showdown between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on Saturday, May 17. The high-octane match will kick off at 7:30 PM IST.
RCB, led by Rajat Patidar, have been one of the most dominant sides this season. With 8 wins in 11 games, they are on the verge of sealing a playoff spot. Meanwhile, KKR’s title defence has been wobbly as they sit sixth on the points table with five wins and six losses and are now in must-win territory. A loss here could end their playoff hopes.
These two sides opened the 2025 season against each other on March 22, where RCB breezed past KKR with a 7-wicket win while chasing 175 inside 17 overs. Expect fireworks again as both sides aim to make a statement post-resumption.
