IPL 2025: PBKS vs RCB Playing 11, impact sub, live toss time, streaming

Shepherd coming in for RCB is the only change in playing 11 for today's game.

In a swift turnaround, Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) are taking each other on in Match 37 of IPL 2025 today, marking a reverse fixture just under 40 hours after their previous encounter. The coin flip in the match went in RCB's way, who invited PBKS to bat first.

 

in thier last game, RCB, who were put in to bat after losing the toss for the third straight home game, once again saw their top order falter under pressure. The rain-shortened 14-over contest exposed familiar vulnerabilities, as Punjab’s pace-spin duo — Arshdeep Singh, Yuzvendra Chahal, and Marco Jansen — ran riot early on. Harpreet Brar piled on the misery before Tim David staged a spirited rescue act. From staring at a total below 50, David's blazing half-century helped RCB post a fighting 95-run total. 

 

 

PBKS’s chase began with promise, as Prabhsimran Singh and Priyansh Arya got going quickly, only to depart in succession. Josh Hazlewood briefly turned the tide in RCB’s favor with a stunning over that claimed both Shreyas Iyer and Josh Inglis. But just when Bengaluru looked to claw back into the contest, Nehal Wadhera took the attack to Suyash Sharma, sealing the game in Punjab’s favor.

 

This loss marked RCB’s third consecutive defeat at home in IPL 2025, further complicating their campaign as the tournament reaches its halfway mark.
