RCB vs PBKS Dream11 Prediction – Best Fantasy Team for IPL 2025 Final

Hello and welcome to Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Punjab Kings Dream11 prediction, fantasy cricket tips, pitch report, and probable playing XI for the IPL 2025 Final Match. We are covering the RCB vs PBKS Dream11 Team and Match Preview.

Today’s match will be played between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Punjab Kings at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad.

The wait is finally over. We’ve made it to the Finals of IPL 2025. And here’s the crazy part: whoever wins tonight will lift the IPL trophy for the first time in history.

That’s right. It’s Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Punjab Kings in a showdown no one saw coming at the start of the season.

Now, RCB might walk into this match with a slight edge. After all, they already beat PBKS just a couple of days ago in Qualifier 1. That win wasn’t just convincing, it was a confidence booster.

But this is a final, and everything resets the moment that first ball is bowled. Punjab Kings are fired up too.

They chased down over 200 runs against Mumbai Indians in Qualifier 2. Beating a side like MI, especially at this stage of the tournament, says a lot about how dangerous they’ve become.

If we rewind to the league stage, both RCB and PBKS finished with four losses each. But RCB have that psychological edge, having beaten Punjab once in the playoffs already.

Interestingly, though, during the group stages, they each won one each. So it’s tight.

One man who’s been central to RCB’s dream run?

Virat Kohli. He’s held this team together with the bat, and if he lifts the trophy today, it’s going to be one of those perfect full-circle moments, especially with all the buzz around his potential retirement from international cricket.

At the top, Philip Salt has been explosive in the powerplay, but if RCB wants to dominate, he needs to stay longer at the crease.

Then there’s Romario Shepherd, who has stunned everyone with his late-innings hitting. He might be the difference-maker in the last few overs.

And on the bowling front, Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s powerplay spells have often delivered early breakthroughs.

But consistency is key, especially with Yash Dayal and Hazlewood leaking runs in patches. One guy to watch closely is Suyash Sharma, he was clinical in the last game, and the team will hope for more of that tonight.

But let’s not forget Punjab Kings. They’ve had one of their most complete seasons in years. Shreyas Iyer has led them like a true pro.

He’s already got one IPL trophy under his belt with KKR last year, and now he’s a match away from back-to-back glory, this time with a completely different side.

Their opening combo, Priyansh Arya and Prabhsimran Singh, have delivered in several matches, but they’ve gone a bit cold in the last couple of games. If they find form today, it could set the tone early.

Josh Inglis, though, has been all firepower in the middle overs. Punjab will be counting on him to shift gears fast.

Nehal Wadhera has done well to stabilize the middle order, but Shashank Singh hasn’t quite replicated the magic of last season. That could be a slight concern.

With the ball, Arshdeep Singh has been their go-to guy in the death. He’s kept it tight and taken big wickets under pressure. Vijaykumar Vyshak has been solid in the middle overs too, breaking partnerships just when the opposition looked set.

And you can’t talk about PBKS bowling without mentioning Yuzvendra Chahal. He might not have bowled his full quota in every game, but he’s been ridiculously effective. Economical and wicket-taking, that’s gold in T20s.

So here we are. A historic final. RCB is looking to finally break the curse. PBKS eyeing their first-ever title after years of heartbreak. Both teams have match-winners. Both have momentum. And both know what’s at stake.
