🏏IPL 2025 - Match 71: Qualifier 1
PBKS vs RCB on 29th May 2025 at Mullanpur @ 7:30pm🏏
Punjab Kings (PBKS) will host Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) at the Mullanpur Stadium on Thursday, May 29, in Qualifier 1 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. Both teams are searching for their first-ever IPL title and will have the chance to take their campaign at least to the final, scheduled to take place in Ahmedabad on June 3.
Both teams have strong batting orders, complemented by consistent bowling line-ups. For PBKS, their uncapped opening pair of Prabhsimran and Priyans have given the team great starts, with skipper Shreyas Iyer, Nehal Wadhera and Marcus Stoinis taking care of the middle order.
On the other hand, for RCB, Virat Kohli and Phil Salt are adding runs at the top, with Tim David and Jitesh Sharma managing the death overs. Skipper Rajat Patidar has looked off-colour since the resumption of IPL 2025 after the brief gap, and the Bengaluru-based franchise will need him to be at his best in the playoffs if they wish to end their maiden trophy hunt with success.
