Punjab Kings vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru Match Preview
Punjab Kings enter this match with a strong record of five wins and two losses in their first seven matches. They have won three of their last four matches, including a five-wicket win over this same RCB squad in their last match on Friday. PBKS’ bowling attack was masterful in that match, holding RCB to 95-9 in 14 overs, with Arshdeep Singh taking down Virat Kohli and Phil Salt within the first three overs.
On the other hand, Royal Challengers Bengaluru have won four of their first seven matches in the 2025 IPL campaign. They will look to bounce back from their loss to PBKS on Friday, while hoping that rain does not become a factor again in this match. No matter what the weather is like on Sunday, RCB will have to be better at bat to avoid making things easy on PBKS in this top four clash.

Punjab Kings vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru Prediction
Considering the current form and team compositions, Punjab Kings appear to have the upper hand in this matchup. Their bowlers have been effective in containing opposition batsmen, and if they can maintain this discipline, they are likely to secure a victory.
However, Royal Challengers Bengaluru have the potential to turn the game in their favor, especially if their top-order batsmen, like Virat Kohli, can deliver impactful performances. The outcome may hinge on which team can execute their game plan more effectively on the day.
Our prediction for this match is for PBKS to get a second win over RCB in the last week, with the PBKS bowling lineup being instrumental in their success.
