The IPL 2025 final between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Punjab Kings promises to be a thrilling showdown with both teams vying for their first title. The match will be held at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, where Punjab Kings have had success this season. RCB, on the other hand, have not played at this venue yet, but their strong away record could work in their favor.
In their head-to-head encounters this season, RCB has won the last two matches against Punjab Kings, including a convincing victory in Qualifier 1. Players like Josh Hazlewood and Kyle Jamieson will play crucial roles in the final. RCB comes into the final with solid momentum, winning three of their last five matches, while Punjab Kings have had a mixed run.
In terms of captaincy, Shreyas Iyer’s experience of leading a team to an IPL title gives him an advantage over RCB’s captain Rajat Patidar. Both teams are eager to end their title drought, but RCB may have a slight edge with their balanced squad and recent form. However, Punjab Kings will be banking on Iyer’s leadership and big-match temperament to challenge RCB in the final.
