Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will take on Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the 34th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. Both teams won their previous games.
RCB defeated Rajasthan Royals (RR) by nine wickets. They restricted RR to 173/4, which looked decent since the track wasn’t as free-flowing for batters. However, Phil Salt and Virat Kohli batted exceptionally well to make a mockery of the target and help RCB win with 15 balls to spare.
Meanwhile, PBKS defeated Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) by 16 runs. Batting first, they could only assemble 111 and looked set to lose another contest. Even during the chase, things were going smoothly for KKR before a collapse changed everything and allowed PBKS to register a historic win.

The two games in Bengaluru this season have not been as high-scoring, for the pitches have not been excessively flat. There will be some new-ball movement, and some help for spinners in the middle overs. The team winning the toss might elect to field first since the side batting second has won both games this season.
A temperature of around 28°C, with partly cloudy skies, is forecast.
