Match 11 of the IPL 2025 will be staged at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati, where the Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will go head-to-head on March 30, 2025, at 7:30 PM IST.

Stadium Overview and Stats:

The Barsapara Cricket Stadium, also called the ACA Stadium, is the freshest amphitheatre for IPL that has gained a fandom for high-scoring games in an incredibly short period of time. Over there, the track is always quite friendly to the batsmen by offering an absolutely accurate bounce with a good stroke-play surface. In spite of that, the later part of the day presents the chance for the spinners to make the ball turn and play an influential role in the middle overs. Another factor that decides the outcome of the match is the dew formed in the second period of a day/night game, which leads to a preference for the chasing side by a good margin. This in turn could play an important part in the captain's call for the toss.

Pitch Report:

• The Chepauk pitch has historically favored spinners, offering significant turn as the match progresses.
• However, recent observations suggest variability in pitch behavior, sometimes assisting pacers with bounce and carry.
• Teams winning the toss might prefer to bowl first, considering the 75% win rate for chasing teams at this venue.

The game is a very important one for both sides, as RR is in a race to recover from a bad start and CSK is aiming to be in the momentum of their campaign. The match will be a deciding factor for RR; the team comes on the back of a 48-run loss to KKR and having struggled to put 131 runs on the scoreboard. On the other hand, CSK was outplayed by RCB in the previous game, as they lost the contest by 50 runs, conceding 206 runs. Both teams are expected to be really charged up and throw a challenge to each other during this important match.

Match Preview:

Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK), The batting is the team that the pitch will favour, and as it would take some effort for the ball to make the best of it, the bowlers will not take the advantage completely. The luck of the draw, as an idiom in the game, means the same as the dew factor, and that is how much chasing teams will get. RR are determined to earn their first win in the 2025 season, as they possess dangerous batsmen such as Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sanju Samson. CSK, even after the last game's setback, still has the power to win the game due to the presence of the wise players who are Ruturaj Gaikwad and Ravindra Jadeja.

The dominant chance of winning the game lay on the side of CSK so long as their bowlers have the capacity to stop the RR's openers, in addition to home advantage, which may make the result change in the RR's favour. I would say both of the teams are going to give it their all, as they are in the race to make a statement in the IPL 2025.
