CHE vs RCB Dream11 Prediction, 8th Match – IPL 2025, Fantasy Cricket Tips
Two of the most passionate fan bases in IPL history go head-to-head as Chennai Super Kings take on Royal Challengers Bengaluru a rivalry that never fails to deliver drama, energy, and unforgettable moments.
Hello and welcome to the our Dream11 Prediction of the 8th Match of IPL 2025, where CSK will lock horns with RCB in a clash that promises fireworks.
This match will be played in Chennai, where the crowd is expected to be electric and the atmosphere unmatched.
Both teams have started their campaign on a winning note.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru defeated Kolkata Knight Riders by 7 wickets and are currently sitting at 2nd place on the points table with 2 points.
Krunal Pandya was the Player of the Match for his all-round performance.
Chennai Super Kings also kicked off their season in style with a 4-wicket win over Mumbai Indians.
They are currently at 4th position, also with 2 points, but slightly behind RCB due to net run rate (NRR).
One key player to watch out for is Noor Ahmad, who was the Player of the Match in CSK’s opening game.
With the Chepauk pitch assisting spinners, Noor could be lethal against RCB, especially considering Virat Kohli’s recent struggles against quality spin.
If conditions favor him, he could play a crucial role in tilting the match CSK’s way.

The pitch at MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai has a long-standing reputation for being a spin-friendly surface, and that was clearly visible in the last game as well.
Batters generally look to maximize scoring during the powerplay, knowing that once the spinners come on, run-scoring can become tricky, especially as the pitch starts to grip and slow down.
However, dew could play a big role, especially in the second half of the match.
If it sets in, the spinners might struggle to grip the ball, which could make batting a lot easier under lights.
So, the toss could be crucial – the team winning it might look to chase, keeping the potential dew factor in mind.
