Pitch Report
In terms of pitch report, the surface at Narendra Modi Stadium has been fantastic for batsmen. That was seen in Qualifier 2, where both sides went above 200 runs. Mumbai Indians posted a total of 203, but Punjab chased it down in only 19 overs. Hence, it seems like another very high-scoring match will take place, and the toss-winning captain could look to bowl first as chasing is a good option.
Weather Forecast
The IPL 2025 final between RCB and Punjab Kings is set for Tuesday, June 3, at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. However, rain could cause problems, just like it did during Qualifier 2, which was delayed by over two hours. Weather reports say there’s a 64% chance of rain, possibly clearing after 7 PM. If the final is cancelled due to rain, Punjab Kings will be declared champions as they topped the points table in the league stage.

Head to Head record:
About venue history, at Chinnaswamy, RCB’s home ground, Bengaluru wins 7 times and PBKS 6. RCB has the edge at the old grounds of Mohali as well. Mullanpur has not been easy for PBKS, where the qualifier took place. Neutral venues are a tad better for PBKS, with 4 victories compared to RCB’s 2. PBKS, at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, in 2021, might get a little confidence out of this as the only team they defeated against RCB there.
