IPL 2025 RR vs PBKS Match Prediction: Who will win today's match? Punjab Kings on the charge to make it to the playoffs
IPL 2025 RR vs PBKS Prediction: The Punjab Kings will star in the second match of the 2.0 version of the IPL 2025. The first match between RCB and KKR was washed out due to rain at the Chinnaswamy Stadium yesterday. Shreyas Iyer, after a great start with his new team, would look to extend their campaign into the finals. This will be his consecutive appearance in the IPL playoffs with KKR in 2024 and now with PBKS.
The Punjab Kings will head to the home ground of the Rajasthan Royals, who have already crashed out of the competition after a stint of losses. PBKS are on a charge into the playoffs, as they are already on 15 points and can look to advance easily into the finals after almost a decade in the IPL.

IPL 2025 RR vs PBKS Prediction: Winner Prediction
The Punjab Kings, who are already in the race for the playoffs, are looking to advance into the final four of the Indian Premier League after a span of 10 years, since they made it first back in 2014 under Aussie skipper George Bailey. This time around, with several Aussie players and an Australian brain behind them, the Punjab Kings have looked formidable, with some raw talent piling up to their success. PBKS can be mentioned as the heavyweights in this encounter.
