IPL 2025 Fantasy Team Prediction: RCB vs. PBKS
On Friday, April 18, Royal Challengers Bengaluru will meet Punjab Kings in IPL 2025 match 34 at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium.
It will be up to their batters to subdue the shrewd Yuzvendra Chahal if Royal Challengers Bengaluru hopes to win at home for the first time this season. This season, they want to maintain their encouraging progress.
When the pitch was stretched out, Chahal and off-spinner Glenn Maxwell would have seen the Bengaluru hitters’ difficulty against slow spinners R Sai Kishore (2/22, Gujarat Titans), Kuldeep Yadav (2/17) and Vipraj Nigam (2/18, all Delhi Capitals). Chahal and Maxwell will also be prepared since they have spent years at the Royal Challengers’ dugout and are acquainted with the environment here.
The hosts expect to trade some blows of their own thanks to RCB’s spinners, Suyash Sharma and Krunal Pandya. Although they are not as accomplished as Josh Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar Kumar in the opposing ranks, the Punjab team still possesses competent speed alternatives in Arshdeep Singh and Marco Jansen.
Shreyas Iyer and Rajat Patidar are not very similar. As an IPL-winning skipper with a strong batting record in this competition, Iyer has shown his abilities.

PBKS vs. RCB, Bengaluru The pitch report
Because of its level surface, the pitch at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium has always suited hitters. The IPL 2025 match between RCB and PBKS is anticipated to be a high-scoring affair, and the arena is small. The team that bowls first has won both of the games played here. Here, defending a total is really challenging. The new ball may provide bowlers with a promising amount of movement.
