Punjab Kings (PBKS) will face Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the 37th match of the Indian Premier League (2025). The match is scheduled to be played at the Mullanpur Stadium in Chandigarh. Punjab Kings are well-placed in the third position in the points table with five wins in seven matches. Their latest encounter was against the same team at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium where the Iyer-led side handed a crushing defeat to RCB in a 14-over clash. They are one of the most consistent sides in this league as their batters contributing regularly, while their bowlers are scalping regular wickets. A win in this match could take them to the top of the table, nearly sealing a playoff spot. Royal Challengers Bengaluru, on the other hand, have had a mixed season so far. They have won four away matches but lost all the three home games played so far. In their last match against PBKS, they managed just 95 runs while batting first. Tim David’s fifty helped them avoid setting the lowest total in IPL history. Their top-order, including Salt, Kohli, and Patidar, scores the majority of the runs, so it’s crucial for them to play cautiously in the first few overs. Among their bowlers, Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar Kumar are doing well for the side, but they lack the support from other bowlers. Yash Dayal and Suyash Sharma will have to assist the experienced pacers in order to restrain the oppositions.
