IPL 2025 final, Ahmedabad weather today: After 73 games and almost 10 weeks (with a week off), the IPL 2025 final between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) is set to take place in Ahmedabad on Tuesday night. A new IPL champion is set to emerge. For Punjab, who made it to the playoffs for the first time since 2014, this is their first IPL final. Virat Kohli has played in all three of RCB's previous IPL final losses — in 2009, 2011, and 2016 — making this their fourth appearance.
PBKS lost to RCB in Qualifier 1 after leading the league stage points table this season. Then, in Qualifier 2, Shreyas Iyer produced a memorable leadership effort against the dominant Mumbai Indians (MI) to guarantee PBKS' place in the final. Iyer, who lost with the Delhi Capitals in 2020 but won with KKR in 2024, is the only captain in IPL history to lead three different teams to an IPL final.

The contest is not expected to be affected by rain, but precautions are being taken to make sure it is finished, including adding an extra 120 minutes before overs are deducted. It also has a reserve day in case of a washout.
Should there be no action due to rain on the reserve day either, the team with a better league stage finish will be declared the winner.
