The Punjab Kings (PBKS) are all set to face the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 final on June 3, at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad. This is the second time these two teams will face each other in the knockouts this season.

Earlier in Qualifier 1, RCB defeated PBKS and made their way through to the grand finale. PBKS then played quality cricket in Qualifier 2 against the Mumbai Indians (MI) and qualified for the big match. This season, the IPL title will go to a new team as both RCB and PBKS haven't won a single trophy yet.

So, the excitement and nervousness in both the teams will be palpable. Moreover, the fans would love to watch the finals since it will be super interesting.
