Match Review

RCB stormed into the final with a dominant 8-wicket win over PBKS in Qualifier 1.
 
Their bowling attack dismantled Punjab for just 101 runs, with Mohammed Siraj and Karn Sharma shining with the ball.
 
Openers Virat Kohli and Phil Salt ensured an easy chase in just 10 overs.
 
RCB have now reached their fourth final, after heartbreaks in 2009, 2011, and 2016, and are determined to finally lift the trophy for their loyal fans.
 
After a crushing defeat in Qualifier 1, PBKS bounced back strongly in Qualifier 2, defeating Mumbai Indians by five wickets.
 
Shreyas Iyer’s explosive 87 off 41 balls led the charge, while Arshdeep Singh and Kyle Jamieson held MI’s batting in check.
 
PBKS reached the playoffs after an 11-year gap and are playing in their second-ever IPL final, aiming to rewrite history under Iyer’s dynamic leadership.

Win Probability:
  • RCB – 52% (based on current form and recent H2H record)
  • PBKS – 48% (riding on momentum, Iyer’s leadership)

Verdict

This final is more than just a title clash—it's a battle of redemption. For RCB, it’s about ending years of near misses.
 
For PBKS, it’s about rising from the ashes of mediocrity.
