PL 2025 opening ceremony, IPL final 2025, RCB Vs PBKS match highlights: Punjab Kings bowlers did more than a decent job to restrict Royal Challengers Bengaluru to 190 for nine. However, their batters could not deliver under pressure as the Shreyas Iyer-led side could only manage 184/7 in 20 overs. Krunal Pandya was the standout RCB bowler ending with two wickets for 17 runs in four overs.
RCB finally got to lift the trophy after finishing runners-up on three occasions previously. It was a heartbreaking loss for Punjab Kings who were playing only their second final and first since 2014.
RCB managed to get over the line despite not having the best time with the bat. Virat Kohli top-scored with 43 off 35 balls while skipper Rajat Patidar couldn’‘t build on a good start managing 26 off 16 balls. For Punjab Kings, Yuzvendra Chahal was brilliant with figures of 1/37 in 4 overs while Kyle Jamieson had the figures of 3 for 48.
The prize wicket of Kohli was taken by Afghanistan all-rounder Azmatullah Omarzai (1/35). However, the best figures were of India’‘s premier T20 bowler Arshdeep Singh (3/40), who got three wickets in the final over. Brief Scores: RCB: 190/9 in 20 overs (Virat Kohli 43, Rajat Patidar 26; Arshdeep Singh 3/40, Kyle Jamieson 3/48, Yuzvendra Chahal 1/37) vs Punjab Kings. Punjab Kings 184/7 in 20 overs (Josh Inglis 39, Shashank Singh 61 not out; Krunal Pandya 2/17).

The same could happen to PBKS batting line up as well who could also falter. PBKS need to avoid the mistakes they made in Qualifier 1 to have a chance at winning.
RCB has a very good bowling line up. Given their skill set, Bhuvaneshwar Kumar, Josh Hazlewood and Yash Dayal may become too much for Punjab Kings to handle despite this being a below par total. Especially if Krunal Pandya clicks, then it would put RCB in a commanding position. If the bowlers don’t bowl to their best ability, then there is no stopping PBKS from lifting their first title.
