In a rapid rematch, the Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) lock horns once again in Match 37 of IPL 2025—just under 40 hours after their last clash. RCB skipper Rajat Patidar won the toss and decided to bowl first against PBKS today. While their earlier face-off (Match 34) took place under the floodlights in Bengaluru on April 18 where the hosts fell to a defeat. The stage now shifts to a sunny afternoon fixture at Mullanpur, Chandigarh, on April 20.
The defeat dealt a fresh blow to RCB’s playoff hopes, marking their third straight loss at home and leaving them in a precarious position as the tournament hits its midpoint.
Mullanpur Stadium, Chandigarh: Pitch report for PBKS vs RCB IPL 2025
Varun Aaron and Graeme Swann gave the pitch reprt in Mullanpur: 63-meter boundary on one side, 70 meters on the other. 76 meters down the ground. There's also a breeze blowing down the ground. The wicket looks really good. It's wicket number three, and the last match played here was the one between PBKS and CSK which produced 420 runs. It has a few cracks but there's a lot of grass to bind it. Looks like it'll come onto the bat really well.
