IPL 2025 Updated Points Table After RCB vs PBKS: Punjab Kings defeated Royal Challengers Bengaluru by five wickets in their rain-curtailed Indian Premier League match at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on Friday.
Batting first, Tim David (50 off 26 balls) struck a counter-attacking fifty to lift RCB to 95 for nine in a match that was reduced to 14 overs per side after a delayed start due to evening showers. In reply, PBKS completed the chase in 12.1 overs with Nehal Wadhera making a brisk 33 off 19 balls. Josh Hazlewood (3/14) bowled brilliantly for RCB, but his effort was not enough.
Earlier, RCB lost wickets at regular intervals with the likes of Arshdeep Singh, Yuzvendra Chahal, and Marco Jansen doing the bulk of the damage for the visiting team.
RCB continued their disappointing performance at home this season as this was their third defeat at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. They currently stand fourth in the IPL 2025 points table with four wins and eight points after seven matches. Punjab, on the other hand, had regained their consistency and jumped to the second spot with their fifth win of the season.
