Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Punjab Kings Tips - In-Form Kohli to Get More IPL Runs

Royal Challengers Bengaluru have made a strong start to the 2025 IPL season. They have won four of six matches and are third in the table on eight points.

The Bangalore side won their opening two matches before an eight-wicket defeat against the Gujarat Titans. The Royal Challengers then beat the Mumbai Indians by 12 runs and lost again to the Delhi Capitals.

One of their best performances of the campaign came last time out with a commanding nine-wicket victory against the Rajasthan Royals.

Kohli scored 62 not out as the Royal Challengers chased down the Royals’ 173 runs total with almost three overs to spare.

It was another strong outing from Kohli, who has scored 59 or more in three of his six innings in the IPL so far.

The Punjab Kings have the same record as Friday’s opponents, winning four and losing two IPL matches this season.

They have also lost two of their previous four matches. Punjab suffered big defeats against the

Rajasthan Royals (lost by 50 runs) and the Lucknow Super Giants (lost by eight wickets).

Ricky Ponting’s side edged the Kolkata Knight Riders by 16 runs in their most recent match. The Kings posted a low total of just 111 but bowled out their opponents for 95.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru have won the last three encounters between these sides. The Kings haven’t won this fixture since 2022.

Verdict

Royal Challengers Bengaluru v Punjab Kings - T20

Virat Kohli is one of the IPL’s most in-form batsmen this season. He can fire the Royal Challengers Bengaluru to a second consecutive victory against the unconvincing Punjab Kings.
