We have ed the halfway stage in the Indian Premier League 2025. The points table pressure is up on all teams as they look to strengthen their claim for a berth in the playoffs. The Punjab Kings will be confident as they take on the Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the 37th game. The Kings defeated RCB in their last game and shall start with confidence. The Royal Challengers will look to avoid slipping further with a strong comeback in this contest.
The Royal Challengers Bengaluru have seen a drop in their form. The side has lost twice in the last three games, which will bother them. The Punjab Kings have enjoyed a good run this year, winning five out of their seven games. The team plays at home and has done well in earlier matches. The two teams are well-matched, and we expect a close contest in this game.

It has been a good season for the Punjab Kings, who have been the bottom rankers of the points table for a long time. Shreyas Iyer will be confident after his team's 5-wicket win in the last game against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru. With this win, Tide has moved to the second position on the points table. Iyer would like to build on this momentum and strengthen his team's position on the points table with a strong show in this game.
The opening pair has done well this season, and the team expects a strong start from Prabhsimran Singh and Priyansh Arya. Shreyas Iyer is the backbone of this batting lineup, and the team expects him to add runs in the middle order with Josh Inglis and Nehal Wadhera. Marcus Stoinis, Shashank Singh, and Marco Jansen add depth to the batting lineup.
The bowling attack will be confident after strong performances in the last two games. Arshdeep Singh and Xavier Bartlett must strike early, as RCB's top order has batted well this season. Marco Jansen and Yuzvendra Chahal bowled brilliantly in the last game, and the team expects a similar show. Harpreet Brar and Marcus Stoinis add bowling options for the team.
Marco Jensen has bagged 8 wickets in 7 matches. Out of which in the last two matches he has picked up 5 wickets. Having played against RCB a couple of nights ago, where he bounced out their top & middle order, we back him to take more than one wicket against RCB in today's match.
Shreyas Iyer has scored 19 runs in 3 matches at Mullanpur this season. Despite being in good form he has struggled to score runs at Mullanpur. On all three occasions he played a rash shot quite early in his innings. Expect him play cautiosly at the start and then take the aggeressive approach later and score over 28 runs against RCB in this reverse fixture.

Rajat Patidar would like to see his team make a strong comeback in this game. It was a terrible show from their batting lineup in the last game, where they put only 95 runs on the board in a 14-over game. The Punjab Kings will come hard on them, and Patidar expects the senior players on the side to ride up to this challenge and do well.
Virat Kohli and Phillip Salt missed out in the last game, and the team expects a strong start from this pair. Rajat Patidar must anchor the innings in the middle order and add runs with Devdutt Padikkal and Liam Livingstone in the middle order. They expect quick runs from Tim David, Krunal Pandya, and Jitesh Sharma in the final overs.
The bowlers will be up against a strong batting lineup, and we expect Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Yash Dayal to do well with the new ball. Josh Hazlewood is in good form and will look to make breakthroughs in the middle overs with Suyash Sharma. Krunal Pandya and Liam Livingstone must bowl well in the ing role, as the Punjab batters will go after them.
Liam Livingstone hasn't hit a single 6 in the last three matches. He has struggled to time the ball and clear the ropes. The surface at Mullanpur is not an ideal track for Livingstone who likes pace on the ball and on a slighlty slowish track he is likely to struggle to time the ball and we predict his total six tally will be under 0.5.
Jitesh Sharma has had a quite IPL so far, where he has scored 90 runs in 5 innings. It is high time he starts performing and today might be the day, where he comes out on top at his home ground, where he averages 21 and has scored 147 runs in 8 matches. We are taking a punt on Jitesh to score over 15 runs against his former team.

We will see clear skies in Chandigarh. We expect a good batting surface where batsmen can hit through the line. Bowlers will have a tough time in the first innings when the wicket is good to bat. The average first-innings score this season has been 178 runs, and the team batting first will have 200 on the board.

Average TurnMaharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium has a good batting surface where the ball comes to the bat. Batsmen can play their strokes freely on this track. Fast bowlers don't have much on this track going for them. Spinners have done well on this track as the ball turns sharply.
Punjab Kings are averaging 84 runs in the first 10 overs in the 3 matches played at Mullanpur this season. The top order trio of Prabh Simran, Priyansh Arya and Shreyas Iyer are in good form. Expect runs from them collectively and it is a good pre-match bet on Punjab Kings to sur the 87 run mark in 10 overs.
We back the home team Punjab Kings to win the coin toss in match 37 of Tata IPL 2025.
The average total match score in the last 3 IPL matches played at Mullanpur is 329 runs. Two of the three matches have recorded scores in excess of 350 runs. As it is an afternoon game expect the surface to be bit dry and spinners will be key in the 2nd innings. A moderate scoring game is expected where a score of 165-170 will be par.
In the three games played at this venue, the team batting first has defended the score successfully. The wicket is challenging to bat on in the second half as it slows down. The side winning the toss would look to take advantage of the conditions by batting first in this game.
The Royal Challengers Bengaluru will be under pressure after an ordinary batting performance in the last game. The team is seeing a slump in form in the most important stage of the tournament. The top and middle order must do well for the team to win this game. The Punjab Kings have displayed consistency this year and have a strong bowling attack. It will be a close game, but the Punjab Kings have a slight edge.
