IPL 2025 Updated Schedule: RCB Match Dates, Venues, Timings & Playoff Qualification Scenario
With the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 resuming after a one-week break, all 10 teams will look to quickly regain momentum as the tournament heads into its crucial final phase. The playoff race remains intense, with seven teams still vying for the top four spots and just 15 league matches left. Notably, the tournament was suddenly halted on May 8 after the Punjab Kings vs Delhi Capitals match in Dharamsala was called off due to a Pakistani airspace breach attempt near Chandigarh, which triggered a power outage at the stadium. However, following a ceasefire agreement between India and Pakistan, officials quickly decided to resume the league.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) are among the frontrunners, currently sitting second on the IPL points table with 16 points from 11 matches after a strong run of form. With three games left, they have a chance to finish with 22 points and potentially top the table. RCB will return to action on May 17 against defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders at the Chinnaswamy Stadium.
