The 37th match of the ongoing IPL 2025 will be played between Punjab Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore. Both teams played each other on Friday in a 14-over game and the Kings won by five wickets. Thanks to this win, the 2014 finalists now have five wins in seven games. On the other hand, the three-time finalists have four wins in seven games.
Notably, the Royal Challengers have found ways of winning matches away from home. All their four wins have come outside of home. Talking about Punjab, they lost only one game at home, i.e against Rajasthan Royals. Unlike Friday, both teams will play each other during the day time. Expect another good clash between the two sides.
