In Chandigarh, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) put up a strong show against the hosts, Punjab Kings (PBKS), to exact revenge for their home loss two days prior. The weather-affected clas, which was shortened to 14 overs per side following a rain delay, cost RCB five wickets in their previous match at Bengaluru.
RCB entered the most recent match with all of their energy and focus, determined to win. In the afternoon match, RCB captain Rajat Patidar chose to bowl first after winning the toss. The choice was wise because the PBKS hitters found it difficult to handle the RCB’s methodical bowling attack, dropping wickets frequently to manage 157/6.
With a rapid 33 off 17 balls, Prabhsimran Singh was the top scorer, while other players were unable to convert their beginnings. By bowling tight lines and taking vital wickets, RCB spinners Suyash Sharma (2/26) and Krunal Pandya (2/25) held PBKS to a low total.
Veteran Virat Kohli led the chase beautifully with a cool 73 off 54 as RCB, chasing 158, appeared to be in control from the beginning. Impact Player Devdutt Padikkal, who produced a fluid knock of 61 off 35, provided him with strong support. As RCB easily passed the finish line, the two made sure there were no problems.
With this victory, RCB moved up to third position with five wins in the IPL 2025 points standings, while PBKS dropped to fourth place after their third defeat of the year.
