Mullanpur Pitch Report
The pitch at Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur is known to be batter-friendly, offering a potential high-scoring encounter. The pitch is hard with some grass cover, providing good bounce and carry, especially for pacers who hit the hard length. The ball comes onto the bat nicely, particularly when over-pitched, favouring aggressive stroke play.
There could be a toss factor. In three matches at this venue, teams that have batted first have won. No chasing teams have won a match yet. The average first innings score has been 180-200, barring the last match. PBKS were bowled out for 111 and then defended that total by dismissing KKR for 95.
PBKS vs RCB Match Preview
This is a crucial encounter for both Punjab Kings and Royal Challengers Bengaluru, coming just under 48 hours after their previous clash on April 18, 2025, at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, where PBKS secured a five-wicket victory in a rain-curtailed 14-over game. PBKS are riding high on confidence, sitting second in the IPL 2025 points table with five wins in seven games and a net run rate (NRR) of +0.308. RCB, with four wins from seven games and an NRR of +0.672, are fourth and desperate to bounce back after three consecutive home defeats, including the recent loss to PBKS.
Punjab Kings: Led by Shreyas Iyer, PBKS have been one of the most consistent teams this season. Their batting lineup, featuring Prabhsimran Singh, Nehal Wadhera, and Shashank Singh, has fired collectively, while their bowling attack, led by Arshdeep Singh and Yuzvendra Chahal, has been effective, especially in the death overs. Their recent win over RCB showcased their ability to handle pressure in a low-scoring chase, with Nehal Wadhera playing a pivotal role. Royal Challengers Bengaluru: RCB, under Rajat Patidar’s captaincy, have shown flashes of brilliance but lack consistency, particularly in their bowling unit. Their batting, led by Virat Kohli, Phil Salt, and Tim David, has been solid, but their bowlers, despite Josh Hazlewood’s heroics, have struggled to contain opposition batters at home. RCB’s unbeaten away record this season gives them hope, and they’ll aim to exploit PBKS’s occasional top-order vulnerabilities.PBKS vs RCB Head-to-Head Records
