The Kings Panjab chart saw in the 2025 Premier League season. Sometimes they cannot defend 245 and put historical defense with only 111 runs on board. Squad Ricky Ponting was for fans of panda with the breath of fresh air who still longs for their first victory in the title. On Friday there will be PBKS against RCB Andy Flower, who will not win the home game this season.
Surprisingly, Royal Challengers Bengalur will win at home, although they maintain 100 % record this season. Bengaluru won this season in Calcutta, Chennai, Mumbai and Jaipur. In fact, these victories also dominated, but things have not yet clicked at home.

So far, the team has played only two games at home against Gujarat Titans and Delhi Capitals – Games, which they lost in contrasting ways. Against the GT they were blown by the aggressive 73* of the 39 Jos Buttlera and against Delhi, RCB surrendered in front of KL Rahul, even though they were in the game ahead.
RCB would hope to change after their last match, where they destroyed Rajasthan under difficult conditions at the Sawai Mansingh stadium in Jaipur. RCB Batters Devdutt Padikkal and Phil Salt acknowledged this problem after Rajasthan and joked that it was time to win at home.
“Get four wins from home now, they really feel great. Hopefully we can continue at home. To be honest, it is time to start doing something there,” Padikkal said after a match in a cottage with Phil Salt.
“In fact, we are playing a good cricket. I think we will win there in time,” Padikkal added.
Rajasthan’s victory would give RCB great confidence, which could be enough to tilt the scale for them this season.
“It’s a matter of time. I don’t think we’ve done badly there. We train more than anyone else, we play more than anyone else – it’s a matter of time to fix it and give fans something to encourage,” Phil Salt joked after the match.
Can Punjab strike a hole in Chinnaswamy?
Kings Pandjab won incredible games this season. The Gujarat Titans hammering seasons started from home, and in their last match PBK somehow climbed the ball, despite the surrender with the bat in their house in Mullanpur.
Panjab has a arsenal on the bowl and bat well in the conditions of Chinnaswamy. If RCB builds a batting pitch, a unit led by Shreyas Iyer can tear them new. And if the RCB was built by a slow Turner, such as Delhi Capitals, the paňjáb has Yuzvendra Chahal, who would set up on Friday to Chinnaswama.
Not only Chahal, but Vijaykumar Vyšhak would also have a chance to redeem on Friday. Vyhok, discovered RCB from the home league, has a chance to cause RCB damage, as well as Mohammed Siraj in RCB VS GT, the first home game RCB in the season, April 2.

RCB VS PBK: Pitch and weather conditions
When the game is accumulated, there are slight chances of rain. However, it is expected that it will remain clear during the match hours. The playground this season was not consistent at all, but RCB might like their chances of a lawn that could have a little grass on it.
