Dream11 fantasy XI tips and guide for the match 8 of the IPL 2025 between CSK vs RCB to be played in Chennai.

It is time for the Southern Derby in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. Two frenemies will be up against each other in the next game of the tournament.

The five-time champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will host Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) on Friday evening at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. Both the sides got off to a winning start in IPL 2025, and would aim to carry on their winning momentum.

CSK might be looking for revenge in this game as they were defeated by RCB in their last encounter in IPL 2024, which also eliminated them from the tournament. Moreover, RCB haven’t won a game against CSK in Chennai since 2008 and it would be interesting to see if they can break the streak.

CSK vs RCB: Dream11 Prediction – Who Will Win?

RCB’s record against CSK is very poor in Chennai. They have won only once against CSK in Chennai, which came in 2008. Even CSK’s spin-bowling attack is far better than that of RCB. Hence, we back CSK to win this game.
