The Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Punjab Kings will play their second match in three days. RCB, captained by Rajat Patidar, will visit Punjab Kings, led by Shreyas Iyer, in Mullanpur. Their previous encounter, shortened by rain, saw Punjab Kings victorious. RCB struggled batting, only reaching 96 runs despite a fifty from Tim David. Punjab Kings achieved a five-wicket win, largely due to Nehal Wadhera’s quick 33 runs from 19 balls.

If RCB found Chinnaswamy challenging, Sunday’s surface could prove even tougher. The match will be held at the same venue where Kolkata Knight Riders recently collapsed while chasing just 111 against Punjab, getting bowled out for 95. That game saw the lowest total ever successfully defended in IPL history.
Punjab is expected to retain its current team, particularly given Yuzvendra Chahal’s strong recent performance (two wickets against RCB and four against Kolkata). RCB, meanwhile, is likely to dismiss Friday’s loss as an unusual event, confident in their better away record this season.
PBKS vs RCB Live Score, IPL 2025: Suyash Sharma to Josh Inglis, out Nehal Wadhera Run Out! Total chaos in the middle! Inglis punches a back-of-length delivery over the bowler’s head and settles for a single as David quickly cuts it off at long-on. But Wadhera has other ideas and comes charging back for a risky second. Both batters end up stranded at the bowler’s end, and the throw comes in to Kohli, who relays it to Jitesh Sharma. Wadhera is run out for 5 off 6 balls — a moment of poor communication that costs PBKS dearly.

Full delivery outside off, Iyer tries to go aerial down the ground but slices it off the outside half. It goes high and wide, and Krunal sprints across from long-on, covering great ground to his left before diving to complete a sharp catch. Shreyas Iyer departs for 6 off 10 balls, including one boundary.

PBKS vs RCB Live Score, IPL 2025: One side of the ground features a short 63-meter boundary, while the other extends to 70 meters. Straight down the ground, it’s about 76 meters. A gentle breeze is also blowing in that direction, which could influence play.
This is wicket number three at the venue, and it looks in excellent condition. The last match played here was between Punjab Kings and Chennai Super Kings, which saw a high-scoring thriller with 420 runs in total.
There are a few visible cracks on the surface, but a healthy covering of grass should help keep it intact. All signs suggest the ball will come onto the bat nicely, making this a promising surface for batters.
