PBKS vs RCB HIGHLIGHTS: Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s bowling unit wreaked havoc in Mullanpur against Punjab Kings in Qualifier 1 of IPL 2025, as the table-toppers were bundled out for just 101, leaving a small target of 102 for RCB. With the help of a half-century from Phil Salt, they chased it down in just 10 overs with eight wickets to spare, qualifying for the IPL final for the first time since 2016. Meanwhile, PBKS will now face the winner of the GT vs MI Eliminator match if they wish to qualify for the final.
Earlier, RCB won the toss and opted to bowl first. PBKS’ start was less than ideal as they lost in-form Priyansh Arya (7) to Yash Dayal in the second over. His opening partner Prabhsimran Singh (18) also couldn’t do much and lost his wicket to Bhuvneshwar Kumar in the very next over. PBKS’ miseries continued as they also lost skipper Shreyas Iyer (2) cheaply to Josh Hazlewood, who also removed Josh Inglis (4) in the final powerplay over, as PBKS lost four wickets inside the powerplay.
RCB continued to strike even after the powerplay, as in the very next over Yash Dayal clean bowled Nehal Wadhera (8) to reduce PBKS to 50 for 5. Shashank Singh (3) was next to depart, losing his wicket to Suyash Sharma. Amidst the chaos, Musheer Khan (0) made his debut but was LBW three balls later by Suyash, who in his second over cleaned up Marcus Stoinis’ (26) stumps as PBKS lost eight wickets for just 78.
Harpreet Brar (4) then lost his wicket to Romario Shepherd before Hazlewood removed Azmat Omarzai (18) on the first ball of the 15th over to bundle PBKS out for just 101.
In reply, RCB got off to a good start despite Virat Kohli (12) losing his wicket cheaply to Kyle Jamieson. Mayank Agarwal (19) was next to depart off Musheer Khan, but by that time, the match was all but done for PBKS. In the end, Phil Salt (56*), along with Rajat Patidar (15*), took RCB over the line and into the final of IPL 2025 with eight wickets and 60 balls to spare.
