Prabhsimran Singh's misery ends as he mistimes one off Krunal Pandya in PBKS vs RCB IPL 2025 final

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) spinner Krunal Pandya dismissed Punjab Kings (PBKS) opening batter Prabhsimran Singh for 26 in the IPL 2025 final in Ahmedabad on Tuesday, June 3. The right-hander used his feet and tried to go over Pandya's head, but the ball took the outside half of the bat and landed in Bhuvneshwar Kumar's hands.

The wicket came at a crucial juncture for RCB, who were tightening the screws during the PBKS chase. It left the Shreyas Iyer-led side at 72/2 in the ninth over and in need of a sizeable stand to chase the score down.

PBKS bowlers put in collective effort to restrict RCB to 190/9 after 20 overs

Earlier in the match, a collective bowling performance by the PBKS bowlers restricted RCB to 190/9 in their 20 overs. Kyle Jamieson and Arshdeep Singh took three wickets apiece and were supported by Azmatullah Omarzai, Yuzvendra Chahal, and Vijaykumar Vyshak, who took one wicket each.

Virat Kohli top-scored for RCB with 43 off 35 balls and cameos from Liam Livingstone, Jitesh Sharma and Romario Shepherd took them to 190/9 after 20 overs. This was the first time RCB had batted first in an IPL final.

Josh Hazlewood gave RCB the ideal start with the ball, dismissing Priyansh Arya for 24, who was caught brilliantly by Phil Salt on the square leg bounadary. The winner of this match will be crowned IPL champions for the first time in their 18-year history.
