PBK predicts to play XI vs RR: Unavailable as Debut Stoinis and Inglis for Mitch Owen
Catch the Punjab Kings (PBK) forecast XI for your IPL 2025 match 59 vs. RR.
After 8-day suspension of IPL 2025 due to geopolitical tension, the league returns-and hence the tournament trade ends. Punjab Kings (PBK) were hovering at 122/1 in 10.1 overs against Delhi Capital (DC) when the game stopped. Now, with moment -to -moment stop, Shreyas Iyer’s side would be eager to take from where it was left. A win against Rajasthan Royals in Jaipur can lay a leg in the playoffs for PBK.
New debut for PBKS in IPL 2025?
Unavable with Marcus Stoinis, Aaron Hardy and Australian trio of Josh England, PBKS can make a start to explosive Australian all -rounder Mitchell Owen. Big Bash Breakout Star has dreamed of 2024/25 season, scoring 452 runs at a shocking strike rate of 203.60. Their inclusion can already increase the aggressive batting unit, especially against RR’s struggling speed attack.
Left-arm spinner Harpreet Brar also comes into conversation if the conditions do more spin warrant, but PBKs can stick to a motion-thread in one place where the ball usually comes. RR has been one of the lowest effective speed attacks in IPL 2025, especially in the absence of Joffra Archer.
Top order of PBKS – Priyanas Arya and Prabhasimran Singh – will be important in taking advantage of that vulnerability during powerplay. With the return to Sanju Samson RR, Punjab bowlers, especially Arshdeep Singh and Chahal, will look to disrupt the middle overs where RR often stumbles this season.
