CSK vs RCB IPL 2025 Match 8 Winner Prediction

Match Winner: Royal Challengers Bengaluru

Both sides are coming into this contest after winning their respective opening contests. While RCB, led by Rajat Patidar, bagged a win over the defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders, CSK registered a victory against Mumbai Indians at their home ground.

That said, RCB comparatively have a better outfit in all three departments of the game. Though CSK have a better spin outfit, we can expect the Bengaluru-based franchise to come out on top in a close encounter.
