RCB vs PBKS IPL 2025 Final Match Date, Time, Venue, Live Cricket Streaming, Playing 11 Prediction: Royal Challengers Bangalore and Punjab Kings will be looking to end their 17-year-long title drought when they clash in the IPL 2025 final. While the Kings had to go a long way to reach the final despite topping the league stage table, Bengaluru will be buoyed after defeating Shreyas Iyer's men in the playoffs Qualifier 1 match in New Chandigarh.

Nevertheless, the two teams that have hidden their weaknesses the best way possible have seemingly reached the final clash. While Rajat Patidar's Bengaluru put up an impeccable performance in away conditions, becoming the first team to win all seven home matches in the league stage of an edition. Meanwhile, the Kings were clinical in dishing out defeat as Iyer's side never suffered two consecutive defeats. This quality of Iyer's side has enabled them to quickly put behind the defeat to RCB last Thursday and beat five-time champions Mumbai Indians in the Qualifier 2 match on Sunday.
