Ends up slicing it just wide of short third where the substitute fielderManoj Bhandage takes a fairly simple catch.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Marcus StoinisOUT! CAUGHT! 6 and out for Stoinis and the reactions from Shreyas Iyer seem to indicate that for the second time in his IPL career he might have to end up second in the final. Full and wide outside off probably a bit slower in pace Marcus Stoinis throws his bat at itgoing pretty hard. Only manages a thick outside edge which goes straight to Yash Dayal at short third. He makes no mistake and straightaway charges towards his bowler and the entire RCB team is cock-a-hoop! Stoinis comes and goes for 6 (2) and Punjab Kings slip from 136/4 to 142/6! Equation - 49 from 20.

Krunal Pandya to Josh InglisOUT! CAUGHT! This is not the World Championship by any means but two of Australia's greatest rivals - England and India - combine to dismiss an Aussie. Poor shot by Inglis given the scenario. This was Krunal Pandya's last over and given that he has been the best bowler Inglis could have played him out. But the ploy of wanting to attack the first ball of every over lures him and he has given his wicket and possibly the match away. Flighted closer to the batter's pads Inglis jumps down the track and looks to go downtown. But he is not to the pitch of the ball and hence gets no elevation. The ball travels flat towards long on where Liam Livingstone waits patiently and takes a super-cool catch just inside the ropesensuring that he does not touch the ropes. Krunal is all over the moon and RCB will feel that they have one hand and one leg on the trophy. Inglis departs for 39 (23) and Punjab Kings are 98/4 after 12.1 overs. They were 43/0 at one stage. Equation - 93 from 47 balls.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Prabhsimran SinghSIX! JUST OVER SALT! A very positive start for Punjab Kings in the chase! Kumar bashes the hard length keeping the line of attack outside off. Prabhsimran Singh cuts it uppishly and carves it over short third. The ball goes sailing and Phil Salt at deep third leaps in the air and manages to get a fingertip on itbut it just eludes him for a six.

And now, a moment which no RCB fan will never ever forget. The IPL trophy is handed over to the Royal Challengers Bengaluru and pop goes the confetti! The Women did it in the WPL in 2024 and the Men have followed suit in 2025. This win will be talked about for ages, because patience has finally borne fruit. They have got a team which has been pretty consistent in all departments not only this year, but for the last 3-4 years now and with the first title under the belt, maybe, it is now time to give the likes of Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians a run for their money, in terms of consistency. Punjab Kings have a bitter pill to swallow, but you never lose - you either win or you learn. They will take inspiration from RCB and come back stronger and more determined in 2026, to try and cross that one final step. And on that note, we end our coverage of the 2025 Indian Premier League as well. An extended season, but we enjoyed it nevertheless. We thank you for your company and hope that you enjoyed as well. IPL is done but cricket is not. Because international cricket is already ready to open up its wings with England and West Indies involved in a tussle for now, in the UK. But later in June, the main game starts with the World Test Championship final between South Africa and Australia and later, which every Indian is eager to see - the future of Indian cricket as India's tour of England will start off. You can catch all the action right here, by just switching the tabs. Until next time then, ADIOS! TAKE CARE!
One over left. 28 to defend. Josh or Yash? Josh Hazlewood has been given the honours. 3-0-32-1. Be it any final that Hazlewood has played, he has never lost. And he is on track for another win in a final.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar to bowl the 19th over.
Kyle Jamieson walks in next at number 9, replacing Azmatullah Omarzai.
Yash Dayal returns. 2-0-15-0 so far.
Azmatullah Omarzai walks in next at number 8, replacing Marcus Stoinis.
Marcus Stoinis walks in next at number 7, replacing Nehal Wadhera.
Josh Hazlewood's breathtaking spells have been the key that have put RCB's bowling upfront. Despite playing just 11 matches this season, Josh has taken 21 wickets at a strike rate of 11.4. The numbers are before this match. Bhuvneshwar Kumar returns. 2-0-17-0 so far.
Review for LBW! Seemed to be missing leg to the naked eye, but Rajat Patidar wants a second opinion. The first replay also seems to suggest that it might be heading down the leg side. Yes, Ball Tracker confirms.
Initially, RCB's spin unit struggled to take wickets but since 2014, it has been performing well in the IPL. Josh Hazlewood is back on. 2-0-16-1 so far.
In Qualifier 1, it was Suyash Sharma who did the maximum damage picking up 3/17 - his best figures in the IPL. Wondering whether Liam Livingstone can be given the ball. It is gripping and the spinners are turning the game. Not for now. Romario Shepherd returns. 2-0-17-1 so far. Meanwhile, RCB have been given their second warning, for not starting their over on time. Another occurrence and we shall see 5 runs added to Punjab's tally as a penalty.
STRATEGIC TIMEOUT. Just like in the RCB innings, PBKS are struggling to forge a partnership. Inglis was the only one who was seemingly comfortable and his wicket would have given a big boost to Bengaluru. Spin has been the talking point, with the ball gripping. Here's Suyash Sharma.
Shashank Singh walks in next at number 6, replacing Josh Inglis.
RCB's pace unit has been the key to their success, picking up 59 wickets at a strike rate of 16.5 - the best for them in any IPL season. This was before this match.
With 16 wickets, this has been Krunal's best performance in an IPL season.
PBKS chased down 204 to win Qualifier 2 against MI, thanks to key knocks from Nehal Wadhera (48 at a strike rate of 166) and Josh Inglis (38 at 181 SR), which played a crucial role in the successful chase.
Nehal Wadhera walks in next at number 5, replacing his skipper, Shreyas Iyer.
Krunal Pandya has picked up most of his wickets in the middle-over phase (7-15) in IPL 2025. Romario Shepherd has been given the ball now.
Skipper Shreyas Iyer walks in next at number 4, replacing Prabhsimran Singh.
STRATEGIC TIMEOUT. Very little to choose between the two teams. After 8 overs, PBKS are 70/1, RCB were 69/2 at the same stage. Just as it happened in the first innings, scoring has seemingly become difficult. In fact, had it not been for that 8th over, the pressure was mounting on Punjab. With just one wicket down, the situation does not look all that grim for the Kings but one does get the feeling that Prabhsimran is itching to break free. Add to that, Josh Inglis has been given plenty of freedom to hit the ball like there is no tomorrow, so the next few overs could suddenly lead to a few runs or a few wickets.
Krunal has been effective against both, top-order and middle-order batters while Suyash has got hold of the middle-order batters in the IPL.
Krunal Pandya comes into the attack now. However, there is a slight halt in the play and that is because Royal Challengers Bengaluru are bringing on their Impact Sub. Suyash Sharma comes on and Mayank Agarwal is the one who goes out.
Josh Inglis walks out to bat now.
Did Bhuvi get a hand on it? Priyansh Arya has driven the ball straight back and into the stumps at the other end. Bhuvneshwar Kumar went down to stop it but the ball went under the fingers as Prabhsimran Singh scampered back into the crease. Kumar starts walking away and replays later show that the ball missed the fingers and anyway, Singh was inside his crease.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar switches ends now. He went for 13 in his first over.
For anyone wondering what the highest total successfully chased in an IPL Final is. It is 200, which was chased by Kolkata Knight Riders against Punjab Kings the last time they played in a Final way back in 2014. Josh Hazlewood is also into the attack now.
Who will bowl from the other end? It will be the left-arm seamer, Yash Dayal.

इंडियन प्रीमियर लीग (IPL) दुनिया की सबसे लोकप्रिय क्रिकेट लीग में से एक है। फ्रेंचाइजी वाली यह टी20 क्रिकेट लीग का 18वां सीजन 22 मार्च से शुरू हुआ था। पिछले चार सालों से आईपीएल में 10 टीमें हिस्सा ले रही हैं। इस लीग में खेलती हुई दिख रही लखनऊ सुपर जायंट्स और गुजरात टाइटंस नई टीमें हैं, इसके अलावा बाकी 8 टीमें 2008 से ही इस लीग से जुडी रही हैं। साल 2024 की तुलना में जब हम 2025 की आईपीएल टीमों को देखते हैं. तो इनमें काफी बदलाव नजर आता है. इसका कारण 24 और 25 नवंबर 2024 को हुए मेगा ऑक्शन (IPL Auction) है. जिसमें कई बड़े नामों को उनकी टीम द्वारा रिटेन न करना है. इस बार ऑक्शन में कुल 182 खिलाड़ियों नीलामी में शामिल हुए. सभी टीमों में केवल खिलाड़ियों में बदलाव नहीं हुए, बल्कि 5 टीमों के कप्तान भी बदल गए हैं.और देखें >
