The D-Day is finally here. After an action-packed two months and 73 matches, it is time for the Indian Premier League 2025 (IPL 2025) final.
It is the showdown between the two giants of this season, the top 2 sides in the real sense. Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will be up against Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the IPL 2025 final scheduled at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on June 3.
RCB vs PBKS Match Preview
After 17 long seasons of heartbreaks, the IPL 2025 final will feature two teams desperate to shed the "never won" tag. For fans of both these franchises, this is not just a final, it is the end of an emotional marathon. For once, one of these long-waiting sides is guaranteed to lift the trophy.
RCB booked their ticket early, brushing aside Punjab in the Qualifier 1 with a well-rounded performance. The RCB bowlers bowled out Punjab for just 101 runs. Phil Salt’s half-century in the run-chase confirmed their entry in the final.
Punjab Kings took the harder road, and created history along the way. In the Qualifier 2, they pulled off what will go down as one of the most memorable run-chases in the IPL history. Facing five-time champions Mumbai Indians (MI), PBKS held their nerve in a tense finish.
It was skipper Shreyas Iyer who with his 87* runs off 41 balls guided them through a mammoth chase of 204 runs. For a franchise known more for its inconsistencies, this was a moment of genuine character as they became the first team to successfully chase 200 or more runs against MI in the IPL, that too in a knockout.
Sunday night is not just about cricket. It is about breaking curses. About one team finally saying, we are no longer just part of the league, we are champions.
RCB vs PBKS Head-to-Head
It is an even-steven head-to-head record. Having faced off 36 times in the past in the IPL, both RCB and PBKS have won 18 matches apiece. In IPL 2025, RCB hold a slight edge, defeating PBKS in two out of three games.
