RCB vs PBKS Live Prediction

2025-04-18 22:02:49

RCB Score Over 55.5 in 6 Overs @ 1.85 (4RABET)

Despite the loss of Phil Salt's wicket RCB are up and running scoring 9 runs in the 1st over. In a rain shortened game all you can expect is runs from both ends. Patidar is out in the middle and he will look to take down the Punjab Kings bowlers and we back RCB's score to be over 55 in 6 overs.

Another one Bites the Dust!

The hero of the last match for Punjab Kings, Yuzvendra Chahal strikes in the very first over at Bengaluru. The pressure built by Marco Jensen from the other end has resulted in Jitesh Sharma attempting a risky sweep which he hits straight to the square leg fielder.

2025-04-18 22:11:19

RCB in Big Trouble - Not an Ideal Powerplay!

In a rain shortened game (14 overs), where powerplay becomes crucial, RCB are three down for 26 runs. Punjab Kings employed the short ball tactics well and all the three batters have fallen for it. Rajat Patidar's is off to a good start and is the only positive heading into the middle overs phase.

We are in the midseason of the Indian Premier League 2025 and teams are fighting hard to improve their position on the points table. We expect a cracker of a contest where hosts Royal Challengers Bengaluru face the Punjab Kings in the 34th game. Both teams have 8 points after six games. A win here will take them to the top of the points table. The Royal Challengers defeated the Rajasthan Royals in their last game and look confident. The Punjab Kings will look to build on their momentum after a win against the Kolkata Knight Riders. 

The Royal Challengers Bengaluru have won the last three games against the Punjab Kings, which will make the team confident. They play at home and know the conditions well on this wicket. The Punjab Kings have a poor record at this venue, which can play on their minds. Their batsmen struggled in the last game. Whether the Kings can overcome the odds and do well in this contest remains to be seen.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru Preview

Rajat Patidar's team has impressed everyone with its consistency and dominating performances this season. They defeated the Rajasthan Royals in the last game by 9 wickets. It was an excellent show from the batting lineup as they clinically chased down the big total. Punjab Kings have done well this year, and Patidar would like his team to play aggressively and use the home advantage to move to the top spot on the points table. 

Phillip Salt is taking on the bowlers aggressively and will look to deliver a strong start in this game with Virat Kohli. Devdutt Padikkal will look to steer the innings in the middle order and add runs with Liam Livingstone and Jitesh Sharma. The side has depth in the batting lineup and expects runs from Tim David, Krunal Pandya, and Bhuvneshwar Kumar. 

Bhuvneshwar Kumar did well with the new ball in the last game and must get early breakthroughs with Yash Dayal. Krunal Pandya is troubling the batters, and he must keep up the pressure in the middle overs with Josh Hazlewood. The side expects good spells from Suyash Sharma and Liam Livingstone in the ing role, as the Punjab Kings have good hitters.


RCB Over/Under Betting Tips

Devdutt Padikkal Total Runs Over 19.5 1.85

Bet now

Padikkal has scores of 40, 1, 37, 4, 27 & 10 runs this season. He has been inconsistent and in every game has comeout swining hard this season. On his homecoming at a venue where he has played most of his cricket, he will be well aware of the pitch conditions and back him to come good and score over 19 runs.

Virat Kohli Total Runs Over 32.5 1.85

Bet now

Virat Kohli has scored a total of 248 runs in 6 matches this season and is yet to make it big at Bengaluru this season, where he has struggled a touch. His numbers against Punjab Kings at Bengaluru is phoenomenal (441 runs in 20 matches, average - 40.09). Given his current form, we back Kohli to score over 32 runs in today's match.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru Predicted Playing XI:

Rajat Patidar (c), Philip Salt, Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar (c), Liam Livingstone, Jitesh Sharma (wk), Tim David, Krunal Pandya, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Josh Hazlewood, Suyash Sharma, Yash Dayal, Devdutt Padikkal (Impact Player)

Punjab Kings Preview

Shreyas Iyer will be proud of his bowlers and how they foxed the Kolkata Knight Riders in the last game. In a game where the batting lineup failed miserably, the bowling attack pulled a win out of thin air, winning the game by 16 runs. Iyer will expect a better show from his batsmen in this game. They have struggled against RCB, and Iyer would look to improve this record. 

Priyansh Arya has been the leading batter for the team this season and must deliver a good start in this game with Prabhsimran Singh. Shreyas Iyer will look to anchor the innings and do well in the middle order with Josh Inglis and Nehal Wadhera. The team expects quick runs in the lower middle order from Glenn Maxwell, Suryansh Shedge, and Marco Jansen. 

The bowling attack put up one of the best bowling performances in IPL history, and the team will be confident. Marco Jansen and Xavier Bartlett must get early breakthroughs to put the team in a strong position. Yuzvendra Chahal bowled a dream spell in the last game, and he will look to keep the scoring under check with Arshdeep Singh. Glenn Maxwell and Suryansh Shedge add balance to this attack. 


PBKS Over/Under Betting Tips

Prabhsimran Singh Total 4's Over 2.5 2.10

Bet now

Prabhsimran Singh has hit 21 fours in 6 matches, averaging 3.5 fours per match. He is a boundary hitter and scored 51% of his runs in fours. On a ground with smaller square boundaries and a fast outside, Prabhsimran will look to get hold off some early in his innings.

Priyansh Arya Total Runs Over 20.5 1.85

Bet now

Arya has scored a total of 216 runs in 6 matches, averaging 36. He has been the find of the season for Punjab Kings and scores runs at a fast pace, if he gets going then within the first 10 balls he might race to 20-30 runs. So keep an eye on him and we back him to get Punjab Kings off to a flying start and score over 20 runs.

Shreyas Iyer Total Runs Over 26.5 1.85

Bet now

Iyer has scored three half centuires in away games this season and has scored 178 runs in 5 matches at Bengaluru averaging 44.50. He got out for a duck in the last match against KKR and will look to bounce back with an impactful knock in today's match on a good batting track.

Punjab Kings Predicted Playing XI:

Shreyas Iyer (c), Priyansh Arya, Prabhsimran Singh, Nehal Wadhera, Josh Inglis (wk), Shashank Singh, Glenn Maxwell, Marco Jansen, Xavier Bartlett, Arshdeep Singh, Yuzvendra Chahal, Suryansh Shedge (Impact Player)

Weather Conditions

We expect another warm evening in Bengaluru. The flat wicket is easy for the batsmen. There is very little assistance for the bowlers. The average first innings score at this venue is 173 runs. The side batting first would need a minimum of 200 runs to feel safe on this track.

Total Over/Under Betting Tips

Royal Challengers Bengaluru to win the coin toss 1.90

Bet now

We back the home team Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) to win the coin toss in match 34 of Tata IPL 2025.

Total Match Score Over 369.5 1.85

Bet now

The average total match score in the last two matches played at Bengaluru is 335.5. The scores have been a bit on the lower side so far, but it is still a good strip to bat on and a high scoring game is on the cards. Both teams boast strong batting lineup while their bowling lineups have struggled a touch.

Toss: To Bowl

The side chasing the score has won four out of the last five games. The surface has been slower than usual, and setting up a total here isn't easy, as we see big run chases at this venue. Both teams would take a cue from their previous wins and opt to bowl first. 

The Punjab Kings come into this game with a memorable win. But the team will have concerns about the form of its batting lineup. They have a poor record against the Royal Challengers and at this venue. The Royal Challengers Bengaluru have their top order in good form and the right combination in the bowling attack for this track. We expect a close game, but the RCB has an edge.
