Punjab Kings vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru LIVE Scorecard, IPL 2025 LIVE Updates: RCB’s 2.6 Crore But Cleans Bowls 2 PBKS Batters In Same Over

PBKS vs RCB Live: Good opportunity for Inglis!

What a shot! Inglis brings out the reverse ramp. He was ready and waiting to execute it perfectly over the keeper’s head. This is a good chance for Inglis to cement his place in the team

PBKS: 100/4 (12)

PBKS vs RCB Live: Good fightback!

RCB bowlers have made an excellent recovery. PBKS’ CRR has gone down from over 10 to under eight in the last three overs.

PBKS: 87/4 (11)

PBKS vs RCB Live: Run Out!

A big mix-up! Relay throw from Virat Kohli to the keeper leads to a run out. Jitesh takes of the bails and Wadhera is stranded at the non-striker’s end with Josh Inglis. It’s the youngster who has to walk back. Kohli with an epic send off

PBKS: 76/4 (8.6)

PBKS vs RCB Live: Punjab rattled!

Shreyas Iyer is gone! What an impact from Romario Shepherd. Krunal takes a stunner and PBKS are suddenly rattled. Good comeback from RCB

Shreyas Iyer c Pandya b Shepherd 6 (10)

PBKS: 68/3 (7.4)

PBKS vs RCB Live: WICKET!

GONE! Prabh holes out as well. Tim David, once again takes an easy catch. PBKS have now lost both their openers

Prabhsimran Singh c David b Pandya 33 (17)

PBKS: 62/2 (6.1)

PBKS vs RCB Live: Top start!

Another expensive over from Hazlewood! 13 off it and PBKS scoring just over 10 in the Powerplay

PBKS: 62/2 (6)

PBKS vs RCB Live: OUT!

Krunal Pandya strikes! Priyansh goes for the pull but gets a top edge instead. Goes straight up in the air and Tim David takes an easy catch

PBKS vs RCB Live: Take a bow, Priyansh!

Shuffles and lofts it over mid on! Priyansh is batting like a dream. Not the ideal length from Hazlewood.

PBKS: 37/0 (3.3)

PBKS vs RCB Live: What a start for Punjab!

Priyansh and Prabh are on the charge as PBKS fly. 31 off the first three overs. Strange from RCB as they haven’t given the ball to Hazlewood, who has conceded under six in the Powerplay

PBKS: 31/0 (3)

PBKS vs RCB Live: Priyansh takes aerial route!

Lofted over midwicket! Priyansh stands still and swings across the hips. Does enough to go all the way. Poor line and length from Dayal

RCB: 13/0 (1.3)

PBKS vs RCB Live: Edged flies into the gap!

No slip for Yash Dayal and Prabhsimran gets lucky. Edged into the gap for four. First boundary for PBKS after a tight over from Bhuvi

PBKS: 6/0 (1.1)

PBKS vs RCB Live: Bhuvi to start things off!

Bhuvneshwar Kumar will be bowling the first over. It will be interesting to see who will share the new ball with him. Priyansh and Prabh will look to score quick

PBKS vs RCB Live: Here’s what Shreyas Iyer said at the toss

“We also wanted to bowl. At the end of the day you always have to adapt according to the situation. Important to give ourselves some time, see how the ball is moving. It’s the first afternoon game for us. Hopefully we get a good total on the board. The support we got, especially in the last game in this stadium, was outstanding. Same team,” said Shreyas Iyer. 

PBKS vs RCB Live: Here’s what Rajat Patidar said at the toss

“We’re going to bowl first. Wicket looks decent, won’t change much. Batting second will give more clarity about the game and the wicket. We’re not looking at venues, just trying to play good cricket. Shepherd comes in for Livingstone,” said Rajat Patidar.

PBKS vs RCB Live: Toss

Royal Challengers Bengaluru skipper Rajat Patidar won the toss and opted to bowl against Punjab Kings in the IPL 2025 match on Sunday. 

PBKS vs RCB Live: Here’s what Tim David said before the match

“It’s going to be different conditions out here being a day game, different pitch. We’re going to have to be at our best to get one back over these guys. Feel like I’ve been batting well, been working on stuff and that’s working. I look to put pressure on the opposition. If we bat well, I’m not required. Ideally walking in at 250/0 in the 15th over would be great. I enjoy watching them bat and try and do what I do when I get a chance,” said Tim David. 

PBKS vs RCB Live: Pitch report

“63-meter boundary on one side, 70 meters on the other. 76 meters down the ground. There’s also a breeze blowing down the ground. The wicket looks really good. It’s wicket number three, and the last match played here was the one between PBKS and CSK which produced 420 runs. It has a few cracks but there’s a lot of grass to bind it. Looks like it’ll come onto the bat really well,” reckon Varun Aaron and Graeme Swann. 

PBKS vs RCB Live: Will Jitesh and Livingstone fire?

Just like Yuzvendra Chahal for Punjab Kings, Jitesh Sharma and Liam Livingstone will also be in focus for Royal Challengers Bengaluru. The duo played for PBKS in the previous edition and will look to deliver a strong performance in today’s match. 

PBKS vs RCB Live: Chahal in focus

Punjab Kings star spinner Yuzvendra Chahal will be in focus today. After scalping four wickets against Kolkata Knight Riders and two wickets against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Chahal will be in search of more today. Moreover, he will be eager to deliver another strong performance against in old team. 

PBKS vs RCB Live: PBKS’s strong bowling

What has stood out for Punjab Kings this season is their bowling department. Arshdeep Singh, Xavier Bartlett and Marco Jansen have been brilliant on the pace front, while leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal has reignited himself, taking crucial wickets in the middle overs.

PBKS vs RCB Live: Dreamy run for Punjab Kings

Punjab Kings are going great guns under Shreyas Iyer’s leadership and are currently placed third in the standings with five wins in seven games behind table toppers Gujarat Titans and Delhi Capitals.

PBKS vs RCB Live: RCB’s strong batting order

RCB, who are placed fourth in the points table, would bank on Phil Salt and Virat Kohli to provide an explosive start and the onus would be on Rajat Patidar, Liam Livingstone, Jitesh Sharma, Krunal Pandya and Tim David to lend stability in the middle-order.

PBKS vs RCB Live: RCB’s big defeat

In a rain-curtailed 14-over-a-side match, the RCB batters cut a sorry figure with the likes of Phil Salt, Virat Kohli, skipper Rajat Patidar, and Liam Livingstone failing miserably in front of their home crowd. However, they will now aim for a better outing against Punjab Kings in today’s match. 

PBKS vs RCB Live: RCB eye revenge

Royal Challengers Bengaluru have very little time to pick up the pieces after a debilitating loss as they eye a much-improved display from their batting unit. With the exception of Tim David, the RCB batters had a night to forget as they slipped to 95 for nine against PBKS in Bengaluru on Friday, losing the match by five wickets.
