IPL 2025 RCB vs PBKS Match Prediction: Who will win today’s match?
IPL 2025 RCB vs PBKS Match Prediction: The most supported and highly enticing team in the history of the Indian Premier League, RCB, have started their season as they were off to a flyer winning all games on away venues far from home in a very commanding fashion.
The real struggle for the Royal Challengers Bangalore have been their home ground Chinnaswamy Stadium, the stadium is often known to be paradise for batters but that has not been the case for RCB this season, as they have lost 3 games in a row on their home venue and now have slipped from the top 4 position.
The Punjab Kings on the other hand come from the most dominating wins in the last two games, first against KKR on this very venue where they defended 111 runs, and then another stunning bowling performance restricting RCB to 95/9 in 14 overs on their home ground. Maintaining a string of low scores, their bowlers might surely be geared up for another thrilling show at home against the same opposition in 2 days.

IPL 2025 RCB vs PBKS Match Prediction: Pitch Report of the Mullanpur Stadium
The Punjab Kings, with their newly remodelled team, have stumped teams at their home venue in Mullanpur. The previous game here was played between PBKS and KKR as the quality pacers from both sides found much help from the track, with slow and sloppy dismissals. Harshit Rana and Marco Jansen found this track to be very helpful. The spinners Narine, Chakravarthy and Chahal also marked a deceitful game against their respective oppositions. Climatic conditions do not play any role here, but unlike other North Indian red soil pitches, the Mullanpur track offers some great help for bowlers.

IPL 2025 RCB vs PBKS Match Prediction: Winner Prediction
The Punjab Kings, who were the dominant side in the last game, went on to secure a win with a commanding bowling performance. Seeing the help for bowlers on a track like the Mullanpur, the Punjab Kings are once again expected to excel under such conditions.
Though RCB, with the likes of Josh Hazlewood, would also look to exploit the help offered by the track at Mullanpur. Hence, PBKS can be picked as the favourites, but not one-sided, as much help can be offered otherwise as well.
