Reasons Punjab Kings Lost Qualifier 1: Royal Challengers Bangalore made it to the final of IPL after 9 years. Bengaluru has registered a historic victory by trampling Punjab Kings by 8 wickets. Despite playing on his home ground in this first qualifier match, Punjab Kings have suffered a huge defeat. Punjab’s batting was neither good nor bowling. Here you can know in 3 points why Punjab got defeat in qualifier-1?

1. Playing fast Punjab was overwhelmed

The first qualifier match was played at the stadium in Mullanpur, where the average score of the first batting team in the IPL is 170 runs. The pitch here is said to be equally helpful for both batting and bowling. Usually, very big scores are not scored here, yet the Punjab batsmen showed such a stance as they had gone for 200+ runs. If the wickets of Punjab Kings are assessed, most of the batsmen were out either in the process of playing fast or playing irresponsible shots.

2. losing the toss of captain Shreyas Iyer

At the time of the toss, captain Shreyas Iyer himself admitted that he also wanted to bowl first. On one side there were a lot of grass on the pitch, while in the evening, a very big factor at Mullanpur Stadium proved to be a big factor. Even if Punjab had scored a score of 170-180 runs here, it would not be easy to defend it due to the ‘Dew Factor’.

3. Punjab lost wickets in bunches

In the T20 match, a team is able to lay the foundation of a big score only when small partnerships are held in the batsmen, but the batting line-up of Punjab was badly flopped. Punjab had scored 27 runs at the loss of one wicket, but 3 more wickets had fallen within the next 11 runs. At the same time, Punjab’s score was 60/5 before Shashank Singh’s wicket fell, but here too the team lost 3 wickets in an interval of 18 runs.

Pbks vs rcb match prediction today: The first qualifier (PBKS vs RCB Qualifier 1) will be played between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Punjab Kings in IPL 2025 today. The match will be played at the stadium in Mullanpur and today a team is scheduled to reach the final, which has never won the IPL title. On one side there is Punjab, which has not played the final since 2014, on the other hand RCB has also not been able to enter the title collision after 2016. Know who can win the first qualifier match based on data here?

Head to head record

So far, Royal Challengers Bangalore and Punjab Kings have been face to face 35 times in the IPL. Of these, Punjab has won 18 times and Bengaluru has won on 17 occasions. In the current season, the two teams defeated each other once. Talking about the last 5 matches of both of them in the IPL, RCB has won four times. Both teams have been matching only one match on the grounds of Mullanpur, in which RCB was victorious.

Both teams record in playoffs

RCB has played 15 matches in the playoffs so far, out of which it won only 5 times and had to face defeat 10 times. At the same time, Punjab has played only 4 matches in the playoffs, out of which it has to lose three matches. On the basis of all the data, RCB is seen going to the direct final.

Punjab, RCB played in-form play with fearlessness

Punjab Kings have played fearless way in Shreyas Iyer’s captaincy and coaching of Ricky Ponting. Shreyas Iyer is the only player Shreyas Iyer, who won the finals in 2020 under his captaincy, to win the Delhi Capitals, winning KKR after 10 years in 2024 and now Punjab Kings to the final after 11 years. Her pairing with Ricky Ponting is very much frozen. Punjab got only 4 defeats in 14 matches in the league stage.

On the other hand, RCB is full of in-form players. Virat Kohli has so far scored 602 runs including 8 fifty in 13 matches. In the last match, Jitesh Sharma is playing a stormy innings of 85 runs in just 33 balls. Josh Hazlewood can return to the Bengaluru team, who has taken 18 wickets in the tournament so far. Apart from them, Krunal Pandya and Bhuvneshwar Kumar have been the ‘Silent Hero’ of RCB with 15 and 14 wickets respectively.

Pbks vs rcb Qualifier 1: The first qualifier match of IPL 2025 will be played between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Punjab Kings today. Punjab finished the top in the points table, while Bengaluru finished second. RCB has never reached the final after 2016 and has never won the title. Bangalore has a chance to end his 17 years of title drought, but there is a rule that can break the dream of RCB and his fans again.

RCB’s dream will break!

Punjab Kings are also moving towards creating history, which has reached the playoffs for the first time since 2014. On the other hand, Bengaluru also wants to win the title for the first time. If the Punjab-Bengaluru match is canceled due to rain or any other reason, then the difficulties of Royal Challengers Bangalore will increase.

The IPL rule says that if the first qualifier match is canceled, the Punjab will qualify for the Kings final due to the better points/net run rate in the table. Both RCB and Punjab had 19–19 points, but Punjab (+0.372) was better than Bengaluru (+0.301) in terms of net run rate.

In such a situation, the dream of becoming the champion of Royal Challengers Bangalore will start hovering, but the hope of his final will not end completely. If the qualifier match is canceled, Punjab will reach the final directly. On the other hand, RCB will get the second chance to go to the finals due to the points table staying in the top-2. In the event of losing against Punjab, he will face the winning team in the eliminator match, whose winner will go to the final.

Both Punjab and Bengaluru are running in excellent rhythms. RCB has got only one defeat in the last 7 matches, on the other hand, Punjab Kings have also got only one defeat in the last 6 matches.
