So far in the Indian Premier League 2026 season, rain has stayed away despite scattered showers across the country and the pleasant Indian spring weather.
But what about today (April 5, Sunday) in Bengaluru, where Royal Challengers Bengaluru will take on Chennai Super Kings at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in IPL 2026 Match 11? Let's take a look at the weather conditions.
This will be the second match for the defending champions RCB at their home ground. They started their campaign in style, defeating Sunrisers Hyderabad by 6 wickets in the season opener at the same venue.
RCB chased down a massive 202 in just 15.4 overs, registering the fastest 200+ chase in IPL history. Meanwhile, CSK have struggled early this season, suffering back-to-back defeats, first against Rajasthan Royals by 8 wickets and then against Punjab Kings by 5 wickets.
This clash will mark the 36th meeting between CSK and RCB, a rivalry that has delivered thrilling last-over finishes over the years. CSK still hold the upper hand with 21 wins, while RCB have won 13 matches, with one game ending in no result.
However, recent form tells a different story. RCB have won their last three encounters against CSK and, given the current momentum, the hosts head into this match as clear favourites.
