Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Punjab Kings, LIVE Updates – IPL 2025: Punjab Kings captain Shreyas Iyer won the toss and elected to bowl first against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in a rain-interrupted encounter at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on Friday night.
Persistent showers delayed the start of the game, leading to a revised format of 14 overs per side. As per the adjusted playing conditions, three bowlers from each team are allowed to bowl a maximum of four overs, while one bowler can bowl two overs.
Despite the gloomy weather earlier in the evening, the covers were eventually removed, and the match began under clear conditions.
RCB, who have had a mixed season so far, are unbeaten in away matches with four consecutive wins but are yet to register a victory at home, suffering two back-to-back defeats. They return to their home ground tonight with hopes of turning their Chinnaswamy fortunes around in this rain-truncated clash.
