IPL 2025: Match 58 – RCB vs KKR Predictions – Who will win Today? Match Preview, Expert Tips, Toss & Win Probability
IPL 2025 Match 58 RCB vs KKR preview: toss prediction, win odds, pitch report, and key insights from M.Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru
Royal Challengers Bengaluru will host Kolkata Knight Riders in Match 58 of IPL 2025 at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru on May 18. This fixture marks the league’s return after a 10-day break due to security concerns, with the match retaining its original time and venue under a revised schedule.
RCB are on the cusp of playoff qualification, having built solid momentum before the break. They secured a thrilling 2-run win over CSK, thanks to a blistering half-century from Romario Shepherd and clutch final-over bowling by Yash Dayal. Lungi Ngidi’s early breakthroughs were also crucial. With most overseas players back in the squad post-break, RCB are well-positioned for a strong finish.
KKR, on the other hand, are teetering on the edge of elimination. Their last outing saw a defeat to CSK despite some resistance from Ajinkya Rahane and Andre Russell. Noor Ahmad’s economical spell dismantled their middle order, and although CSK had a stuttering start in the chase, Dewald Brevis and MS Dhoni ensured a composed finish. Moeen Ali will be unavailable for this clash, which further weakens KKR’s balance.
