RCB vs PBKS Highlights, IPL 2025 Match: Punjab Kings beat Royal Challengers Bengaluru by 5 wickets in rain-hit clash

April 19, 2025· 00:43 IST

RCB vs PBKS Highlights, IPL 2025 Match: Punjab Kings delivered a brilliant bowling performance to beat Royal Challengers Bengaluru by five wickets in a rain-shortened IPL match on Friday (April 18) at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. After rain delayed the start to 9:45 PM (IST), the game was reduced to 14 overs per side. RCB struggled badly, managing just 95 for nine, with Tim David fighting a lone battle, scoring an unbeaten 50 off 26 balls. Chasing 96, Punjab Kings had a few nervous moments early on but crossed the finish line comfortably in 12.1 overs, reaching 98 for five. Their win also continued RCB’s disappointing run at home this season. Punjab's openers, Priyansh Arya, the latest young star in the IPL and Prabhsimran Singh, found it tricky at the start, as the pitch had extra bounce helping the fast bowlers.

ℹ️MATCH INFO

Punjab Kings are riding high with back-to-back victories! After that forgettable day in Hyderabad where they leaked 245, the Kings have roared back with a pair of commanding wins. Royal Challengers Bengaluru, on the other hand, are reeling from three consecutive home defeats. Put in to bat, they simply couldn't cope with the lively bounce and ultimately left too few runs on the board, misjudging the pace of their innings.

April 18, 2025· 23:09 IST

ℹ️MATCH INFO

A batting implosion of epic proportions! Nine batsmen failed to reach double figures, a truly woeful display. In the absence of Padikkal, Patidar tried to steady the ship at number 3, but Punjab's bowlers were all over them like a rash, relentless in their pursuit of wickets. From the wreckage emerged Tim David, a lone warrior! At 42 for 7, he unleashed a furious counter-attack, swatting Brar to all parts in the final over, bringing up a valiant fifty and dragging RCB, kicking and screaming, to 95 for 9 - a total that at least gives their bowlers a sniff!

April 18, 2025· 23:06 IST

ℹ️MATCH INFO

Fourteen overs might seem sufficient, but RCB appeared trapped in slow motion! Wickets tumbled in quick succession, and there was a shocking lack of adaptability. Their gung-ho approach spectacularly imploded, with batsmen swinging wildly from the get-go, completely ignoring the conditions and the bowlers' strategies – a cardinal sin in a rain-affected game like this!

April 18, 2025· 23:06 IST

ℹ️MATCH INFO

Punjab Kings have delivered a seismic punch! They've shackled the home side to a paltry 95 runs. Tim David's late cameo was the only thing that rescued RCB from utter humiliation, injecting some much-needed adrenaline into a desperately anemic innings. After all the rain delays and the reduced overs, RCB simply couldn't find their groove. This was supposed to be a pyrotechnic display, but it was more like a damp squib – except for David's brief fireworks, which at least gives them a sniff of a chance to defend. Punjab, however, will be absolutely ecstatic with their performance; a masterclass in pressure bowling!
