IPL 2025 final match prediction

RCB took a slight lead in the finals, winning its leading qualifier on PBK and 1 on a settled squad. His batting by Kohli and salt is well suited for Ahmedabad’s high scoring pitch, while Hazelwood’s 21 wickets and Suyash Sharma’s middle-over control gave him the benefit of bowling.

PBK, however, there are no pushover. Priyash Arya and Josh England’s form of Iyer, who begins explosives, makes his batting formidable. Their ability to pursue 204 in qualifier 2 shows that they can handle pressure. The pitch is in favor of high score, and the dew may be easy to chase, if they bat other then they benefit RCB. However, PBKS may be disturbed by the flexibility and leadership of Iyer if their spinners, especially the movement or the brara, exploit the middle overs.

Prediction: RCB has a 60% chance of winning due to its recent dominance and balanced unit, but PBK’s aggressive batting makes it a close competition. If RCB chase, they are likely to achieve their first title; If PBK sets a target above 210, their speed attack can make it competitive.
