Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) won the toss and chose to bowl against Punjab Kings (PBKS) in their IPL 2025 clash at the New PCA Stadium in Chandigarh.

Having suffered a disappointing loss in their previous encounter, RCB will be eager to settle scores this time. In that rain-shortened 14-over match on Friday, they managed just 95 for nine.

Apart from Tim David, the rest of the batting line-up – including Phil Salt, Virat Kohli, skipper Rajat Patidar, and Liam Livingstone – failed to deliver in front of the home crowd.

Heading into the rematch, PBKS sit third on the points table with 10 points, while RCB are close behind in fourth with 8 points.

RCB will be counting on Salt and Kohli to provide a solid start and help turn the tide.
