The Royal Challengers Bengaluru will face the Punjab Kings one last time this season in the finals of the IPL 2025 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on June 3.

Bengaluru sent Punjab to bat first, and it proved to be a masterstroke for them. Punjab, in an attempt to start aggressively, kept playing poor shots and kept losing wickets regularly. Bengaluru were left with just a target of 102, which, as expected, was a cakewalk for them. Salt led the assault on the Punjab bowling and easily crushed them by eight wickets.

Mumbai did not get off to the best start when they were assigned to bat. They were limited to 203 and had some good runs in the middle, but they were unable to finish as they had hoped. From the beginning, the Punjabi batsmen continued to assault, preventing Mumbai from rallying. Shreyas led his team to the finals by five wickets with one of the best knocks of the season.

The Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad is renowned for being batting-friendly. The pitch's proper bounce helps batters make strokes, while the comparatively short boundaries help score runs. However, as the game goes on, particularly in the second innings, spinners can get some traction. Additionally, chasing will probably be the favoured tactic because dew is predicted to settle in during the second innings.
