Royal Challengers Bengaluru beat Chennai Super Kings by 43 runs in Match 11 of IPL 2026 at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on 5 April. RCB made 250/3 in 20 overs; CSK were all out for 207 in 19.4 overs. This is a historical result, replacing an old preview rather than presenting predictions as current team news.
Verified match facts
The official IPL Match 11 report records the result, innings totals and Tim David as Player of the Match. David scored an unbeaten 70 from 25 balls. The report also records Devdutt Padikkal’s 50 and Rajat Patidar’s unbeaten 48.
Understanding the result
RCB’s 250 meant CSK needed 251 to win. The 43-run margin is the difference between the two completed innings totals; it is not the difference between CSK’s score and the winning target.
The notation 19.4 means 19 completed overs and four legal balls of the next over. It is not 19.4 decimal overs. Reading cricket’s ball notation correctly matters when comparing rates or remaining deliveries.
What the score can and cannot tell you
The score establishes what happened in this match. It does not prove how either team would perform in a later fixture, whether a predicted XI was correct, or that a particular player would return from injury on a specified date.
