IPL 2025: PBKS vs RCB - Today’s match prediction – Match 37
Most runs
Former India skipper Virat Kohli was out for just one run in the previous game against PBKS at home. Despite that failure, one can expect Virat Kohli to be at the top of his game at the Mullanpur Stadium on Sunday. The 36-year-old has a good record against Punjab Kings in the IPL over the years. Kohli, has also been in great form away from home this season with fifties against Kolkata, Mumbai, and Rajasthan.
Most wickets
Veteran spin bowler Yuzvendra Chahal bowled well in the previous match between the two sides at his former home ground. The 34-year-old got the key wickets of RCB skipper Rajat Patidar and dangerous Jitesh Sharma for two runs. Chahal ended his spell with figures of 2/11 from three overs to enjoy an excellent outing. The battle between RCB’s attacking batters and Chahal could be a tantalizing prospect and one expects the veteran spinner to come out on top with most wickets in the PBKS vs RCB game.
Player of the match (POTM) prediction
In the last encounter on Friday, it was Tim David who was given the player of the match for his unbeaten fifty. After a great start to the season, Shreyas Iyer has slowly lost his form but the game on Sunday against RCB could just see PBKS’ skipper return to form. The 30-year-old has over the years done reasonably well against RCB and could just come up with the goods with the bat.
PKS vs RCB match winner prediction
Considering their amazing run away from home this season, RCB are the slight favorties to win the match. In the previous four away games, Virat Kohli has batted well along with skipper Rajat Patidar, while Phil Salt has given the team blazing starts with the bat. in the bowling department, Josh Hazlewood has done well so far to claim 12 wickets while the likes of Krunal Pandya and Suyash Sharma have picked up their performances.
