The IPL 2025 season is heating up, and Match 34 promises to be a high-voltage clash between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru. Both teams are tied with 8 points from 6 matches, making this a crucial encounter that could shake up the top four of the points table.
RCB come into this match with serious momentum. In their last game, they defeated Rajasthan Royals by 9 wickets, thanks to stellar batting from Phil Salt (65 off 33), *Virat Kohli (62 off 45), and *Devdutt Padikkal (40 off 28). Their top order is firing, and their bowlers have shown discipline, even without taking a flurry of wickets.
PBKS pulled off a dramatic win over KKR in a low-scoring thriller, defending just 111 runs. Yuzvendra Chahal (4/28) and Marco Jansen (3 wickets) turned the tide, highlighting PBKS’s bowling depth. However, their batting looked shaky, and that's a big worry going into Chinnaswamy—a high-scoring venue.

RCB’s dominant top order, familiarity with home conditions, and consistent performances make them the slight favorites. PBKS could pull off a win if their bowlers strike early, but they’ll need a strong batting performance to stay in the hunt.
