Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Punjab Kings are set to face off in the IPL 2025 final, each trying to stop the 17-year drought without a title. Bengaluru will be high on confidence due to their dominating win over the Kolkata Knight Riders in Qualifier 1. They were perfect in the away conditions, winning all seven away games on the league stage, with Rajat Patidar playing a starring role.
Punjab Kings, despite finishing top of the table in the league stage, took the long way to the final. Shreyas Iyer might have been instrumental in ensuring that they did not lose two games in a row quality that helped him bounce back against the defeat to Bengaluru in Qualifier 1 and also win convincingly against Mumbai Indians in Qualifier 2.
Both teams have concealed their weaknesses well, making for an exciting final battle. The team that will keep their form and handle pressure will most probably win the title and finally end their long wait to be champions. The final looks set to be an exciting clash between two hungry sides.
