IPL 2025: Punjab Kings are taking on Royal Challengers Bengaluru at Chinnaswamy Stadium
Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) are still searching for their first home win in IPL 2025 and they will face the high-flying Punjab Kings in the IPL 2025 game at the Chinnaswamy Stadium on April 18, Friday. Although both sides are coming off victories, RCB will be keen to get their template right for home games after winning all four away fixtures thus far.
The Royal Challengers had last featured in IPL 2025 on Sunday in an afternoon fixture against the Rajasthan Royals in Jaipur and aced the away fixture by nine wickets. However, the only two losses they have suffered came in the home matches against the Gujarat Titans and Delhi Capitals. The Chinnaswamy track, known for being a batting paradise, served up a tricky surface against the Capitals. It will be interesting to see what the conditions will be like against the Punjab Kings.
The Punjab Kings, meanwhile, are coming off one of the greatest wins of IPL history as they stunned the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) by defending a mere 111 against them in Mullanpur. However, Punjab Kings' batting approach will need some assessing against the Royal Challengers.
