RCB faced PBKS at Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru today. This was the third game in Bengaluru this season. Fans expected a great contest between these strong teams. But rain spoiled the plans for this RCB vs PBKS match. The game got cut to just 14 overs each.
PBKS won the toss and decided to bowl. RCB has big stars like Virat Kohli and Phil Salt. But RCB batters looked clueless against PBKS bowlers. Tim David smashed three sixes in the last over. He got his first IPL fifty in this short game. David’s fighting knock pushed RCB to 95-9 in 14 overs.

Rain Plays Spoilsport
Fans came hoping for big hits in RCB vs PBKS today. Many felt let down by the rain-shortened match. Still, the cricket action packed plenty of drama. Both teams fought hard in tough conditions. The wet field made things hard for fielders. Players had to change plans on the fly. This shows how IPL 2025 can throw surprises. Weather can be the biggest player sometimes.
Both teams have great talent in their squads this season. RCB has now lost all three home games in IPL 2025. But they’ve won all four away games so far. This home form must worry RCB’s coaches now.
PBKS got their fifth win in seven matches. They look like strong playoff contenders now. We hope RCB finds form in their next match. PBKS will try to keep their winning streak alive. The points table gets tighter with each game. Teams are fighting hard for those top four spots.
