Fresh off their tournament-defining victory over the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), the Punjab Kings (PBKS) are yet again in action. The Shreyas Iyer-led outfit is ready to battle with the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in Match 34 at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on Friday, April 18.
Both PBKS and RCB have identical records in IPL 2025, with four wins in six matches. However, RCB holds a slight edge in Net Run Rate (NRR). Despite this, RCB has struggled at home, losing both of their matches there, which could make it challenging for them to overcome a strong Punjab side at the Chinnaswamy Stadium.

Despite its reputation as a batting haven, the Chinnaswamy pitch has not lived up to expectations this season. RCB have failed to cross 170 in both games here, and the surface has offered early movement and unexpected assistance to spinners. Add in some pre-match showers and you have a venue that could again call for tactical flexibility.
