IPL 2025: Between RCB and PBKS, which team has more winning chances and why, here's breakdown

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) is filling the tank up to the top for the final lap of the title race. On the other hand, Punjab Kings (PBKS) may be busy keeping their minds cool, calm, and composed like their skipper Shreyas Iyer. One side has Virat Kohli, and another side has Shreyas Iyer; a collision of fire and ice is to happen in Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad. Can RCB finally achieve the title? 

These things can have an effect on the RCB vs. PBKS IPL 2025 final match:

The opening combination: Both the teams have the in-form, destructive opening pair of batters to open the innings. For RCB it is Phil Salt and Virat Kohli; for PBKS Priyansh Arya and Prabhsimran Singh will be in charge at the beginning of the batting lineup. The results of the match can be heavily influenced by the performance of the opening pairs. 

2 teams, 2 stars: If we are talking about stars or superstars, then Virat Kohli is obviously one from Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Shreyas Iyer from the Punjab-based side. The rest of both teams were mainly covered with a bunch of underrated players, especially PBKS. They had constructed their playing combination with multiple uncapped players. So in terms of star power, both teams stand almost at the same height.
