A mega IPL 2025 final on the cards as RCB and PBKS eye maiden trophy

The IPL 2025 final is expected to be a blockbuster clash as both teams, RCB and PBKS, fight for their maiden IPL trophy.

The Bengaluru-based side finished second on the IPL table and beat Punjab in Qualifier 1 to advance to the final. Meanwhile, Punjab topped the points table and beat Mumbai Indians (MI) in Qualifier 2 to seal their spot in the final.

RCB have previously played three finals in 2009, 2011, and 2016, but have faced defeat all three times. PBKS have played just one IPL final previously in 2014, where they lost to Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR).

Thus, both teams will be desperate to end their wait for the IPL title, but while one will finally get their hands on the trophy, the other side's wait will continue.
