IPL 2025 RR vs PBKS Prediction: The Punjab Kings, who were featuring in their last game before the IPL 2025 went into a halt, seemed to be in great form as their openers carried momentum from the previous game and scored runs consistently at the top. Shreyas Iyer will lead them for the remaining matches and will be eyeing his second consecutive IPL trophy, though with different oppositions.
The Rajasthan Royals have failed miserably to make it to the cut for the playoffs; however, they can still be a huge hindrance to the playoffs for the remainder of the opposition. Punjab Kings remain in the hopes for the playoffs with 15 points and 3 more games remaining in their campaign.

IPL 2025 RR vs PBKS Prediction: Win Probability
The Rajasthan Royals have not been at their best at their home venue, as RR skipper Riyan Parag stepped in for a win in their last game, which denied KKR a hat-trick of wins. However, Punjab Kings have been at their very best, especially with the commanding form from their openers and their bowlers in Arshdeep. Jansen and Chahal have also joined the list of wicket-takers. PBKS will be looking to start from where they left off before the IPL 2025 was halted; hence, Punjab Kings might be deemed as the probable heavyweights.
