Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) suffered their third consecutive home defeat in IPL 2025, falling to Punjab Kings (PBKS) by five wickets in a rain-shortened 14-over match at the Chinnaswamy Stadium. RCB, reduced to 42/7 at one stage, were rescued by Tim David’s unbeaten 50, pushing their total to 95/9. PBKS chased it down with 11 balls to spare, thanks to Nehal Wadhera’s 33* and key strikes from Hazlewood. Arshdeep, Brar, and Chahal shared crucial wickets. With this win, PBKS climbed to second in the standings, while RCB’s home form continued to haunt them in a forgettable campaign. (PC: AP)
