PBKS vs RCB Pitch Report & Weather Updates at Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, Mullanpur: IPL 2025 Match 37

Punjab Kings (PBKS) will lock horns with Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the 37th match of the Indian Premier League 2025 (IPL 2025) at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur, Chandigarh, on April 20.

PBKS, showing remarkable consistency, are in third place on the IPL 2025 points table, while RCB, positioned fifth, are eager to recover from a recent setback against the same opposition.

The Shreyas Iyer-led PBKS have been in top form, securing five victories in seven matches. In their latest triumph, they collected a five-wicket win over RCB in a rain-affected 14-over clash on Friday. 

Nehal Wadhera’s unbeaten 33 runs off 19 balls guided them to chase down 96 runs, while a well-rounded bowling effort, restricted RCB to 95/9.

RCB, captained by Rajat Patidar, are navigating a turbulent phase with three consecutive home losses, including the recent defeat to PBKS. Their batting faltered dramatically in that game, slumping to 42/7 before Tim David’s gritty half-century salvaged some pride. Josh Hazlewood’s fiery three-wicket spell offered hope, but inconsistency in their batting remains a concern as they rely heavily on Tim David and Virat Kohli.
