Punjab Kings fell short in the first Qualifier against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), and now they’ll get another chance to seal their place in the IPL 2025 final.
Varun Aaron thinks that Ahmedabad’s pitch will suit Punjab’s batter more than Mumbai’s batter because PBKS rely most on their openers compared to MI. Punjab’s head coach, Ricky Ponting, will be helping his young batters to settle down in the high-pressure game.
Aaron also believed that PBKS' young side saw a high-pressure game, and now their nerves will be settled in the second match. They got the advantage to finish the league stage in the top 2 positions. The PBKS skipper also stated that they lost the battle but not the war after the loss in Qualifier 1.

Tom Moody’s remark on the Punjab Kings
"It's continuing to surround them full of confidence and faith. And if they do that on a good batting surface, there's no doubt they'll be competitive. But let's face it, Mumbai are going to be coming in red-hot after a good performance up in Chandigarh. And have sort of, in a way, washed away all the negative aspects of their season,” Moody stated.
Punjab King’s young brigade
Punjab Kings are the only side in this season whose four uncapped players scored more than 280 runs. Prabhsimran Singh scored 567 runs in 16 matches, and he is the key for Punjab in the top order.
Priyansh Arya, Nehal Wadhera, and Shashank Singh also contributed with their bat, whenever their side needed most in this season. The core Indian group of PBKS is their strength in IPL 2025.
