With the championship title on the line, RCB were put into bat first under pressure-filled conditions. Backed by a mix of seasoned stars and explosive hitters, Bengaluru looked set a daunting target on the board. So Let’s take a look at Arshdeep Singh Bowling vs RCB in Final Match of IPL 2025.
Despite flashes of brilliance from their top and middle order, a late-innings collapse saw them restricted to 190/9 in 20 overs.
Opener Philip Salt looked dangerous from the beginning, smacking 16 off just 9 balls before falling early to Kyle Jamieson. Virat Kohli, continuing his fine form, provided stability at the top with a classy 43 off 35 deliveries, anchoring the innings during the middle overs.
Middle-order momentum builds
Mayank Agarwal chipped in with a handy 24 off 18, while skipper Rajat Patidar played a composed 26 off 16, briefly building partnerships around Kohli. Liam Livingstone added fireworks with 25 off just 15 balls, launching two big sixes and keeping the run rate high. At 167/4 in 16.5 overs, RCB looked set for a 200+ total.
PBKS fight back late
Punjab Kings turned the tide in the final overs with a disciplined bowling display. Kyle Jamieson led the attack, claiming 3/48, including the key wickets of Salt, Patidar, and Livingstone.
Arshdeep Singh was the pick of the bowlers, finishing with impressive figures of 3/40 in his quota, dismissing Shepherd, Krunal Pandya, and Bhuvneshwar Kumar in a dramatic 20th over.
Jitesh Sharma (24 off 10) gave a short-lived boost before being bowled by Vyshak, while Romario Shepherd’s 17 from 9 looked dangerous until he was trapped in front. RCB lost 5 wickets for just 23 runs in the last 3.1 overs, stalling their momentum significantly.
PBKS bowlers keep RCB in check
Despite the aggressive intent, RCB’s late stutter prevented them from crossing the 200-mark. Vijaykumar Vyshak and Azmatullah Omarzai supported well, each picking up crucial wickets and keeping the pressure on during the death overs. The disciplined bowling effort from PBKS ensured that RCB’s batting lineup couldn’t finish with a flourish.
With 191 needed to lift their maiden IPL trophy, Punjab Kings face a stiff yet chaseable target. The second innings promise a thrilling climax to a gripping season finale.
