Finalists: RCB vs PBKS
Throughout IPL 2025, RCB and PBKS have both displayed tenacity and skill. Both clubs are now on the brink of history after years of near-misses. With neither having won a title in 18 seasons, IPL 2025 is guaranteed to crown a new champion.
RCB secured their spot in the final by defeating PBKS in Qualifier 1 at Mullanpur on May 29.
PBKS bounced back with a gritty win over five-time champions Mumbai Indians in Qualifier 2, showing remarkable determination to return to the summit clash.
In the IPL's storied history, these two teams have met 36 times, and the rivalry is as tight as it gets:
RCB wins: 18
PBKS wins: 18
Tied: 0
The final offers a perfect tiebreaker in their ongoing duel.
RCB face a blow with Mohammed Siraj sidelined due to a side strain. His absence may be felt during the powerplay overs.
PBKS are monitoring the fitness of Kagiso Rabada, who missed Qualifier 2 with a hamstring concern. His availability could be a game-changer.
This will be RCB's fourth final in IPL history. They previously finished runners-up in:
2009 (vs Deccan Chargers)
2011 (vs CSK)
2016 (vs SRH)
On the other hand, PBKS will be playing only their second IPL final. Their first came in 2014, when they were edged out by Kolkata Knight Riders.
