With nothing to play for but pride, Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals will square off in Match 62 of IPL 2025 at Delhi’s Arun Jaitley Stadium on Tuesday, May 20. Both sides are already out of playoff contention and currently sit at the bottom of the table, making this a dead rubber on paper — but not entirely without purpose.
For CSK, it’s the penultimate outing of a disappointing campaign. The five-time champions have managed just three wins in 12 games and have largely lingered in the lower half of the standings.
Still, there have been glimmers of promise, especially in youngsters like Ayush Mhatre and Dewald Brevis, who’ve shown flashes of potential in limited chances.

As for Rajasthan, this will be their final game of the season. Coming off a loss to Punjab Kings, the Sanju Samson-led side will look to finish on a high. They beat CSK the last time the two teams met — and will want to repeat that.
Who will win CSK vs RR IPL 2025 match? Prediction
Chennai haven’t lit up the tournament, but their recent win brought a spark that’s been missing all season. If the top order clicks early, they’ve got the firepower and veteran depth to dictate terms — especially against a Royals side that’s struggled with the ball.

Rajasthan’s batting has looked solid in patches, but their inability to defend totals has repeatedly hurt them. With little momentum and nothing left to chase, they’ll need something special to flip the script.
Given current form and confidence, CSK look slightly better placed to sign off with another win.
