Punjab and Bengaluru finished dead even after 14 gruelling league games, separated only by decimal points that now seem like mountains.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Shreyas Iyer&#39;s Punjab revolution has been brewing all season. Young gun Priyansh Arya has been destroying bowling attacks at a ridiculous strike rate, while the captain himself has been leading from the front with crossing 500 runs. But can they handle the pressure when it truly matters?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Across the battlefield, Virat Kohli&#39;s hunger burns brighter than ever. The master has crafted 602 runs this season, and here&#39;s the scary part - every single time he&#39;s reached fifty, Bangalore have walked away victorious. Eight fifties, eight wins. That&#39;s not luck, that&#39;s destiny calling.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>The Mullanpur cauldron has been unpredictable all season - teams have folded for just 111 or exploded to 219 on the same strip of earth. But here&#39;s what history whispers: bat first, win the war. The team setting the target three out of four times has claimed victory.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Thirty-five battles between these warriors are separated by just one win. This isn&#39;t just cricket anymore - it&#39;s about who wants that maiden title more when the lights are brightest and the stakes couldn&#39;t be higher. One team advances to immortality. The other gets a second chance to dream again.<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/commentaryFiles\/IPL 2025 Head to Head - 640px width (47)_1748524379.gif\" style=\"width:640px\" \/>&nbsp;<br \/>\n<br \/>\nVenue Stats since 2024<br \/>\n<img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/commentaryFiles\/IPl Stats Temp 2024 (30)_1748524586.jpg\" style=\"width:640px\" \/><\/strong><br \/>\n<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Pitch Report by Deep Dasgupta: <\/strong><br \/>\n&quot;Before we get into the specifics of the pitch, let&#39;s look at the dimensions. To my right, it&#39;s 62M, to my left it&#39;s 65M, and straight down the ground, it&#39;s 73M. It&#39;s a deceptively large venue, though it doesn&rsquo;t always seem that way.As for the pitch, it has been used twice before this season. The night game produced a 200+ total, while the day game saw a 150+ score. Looking at the pitch now, there&#39;s quite a bit of grass on it, which suggests the ball will come onto the bat nicely. While the fast bowlers might find some resistance in the grass, I don&#39;t expect it to do much. Near the stumps, there&#39;s less grass, which should give the spinners some purchase, and the pitch might slow down a bit as the game progresses.Regarding dew, there&rsquo;s a bit of moisture in the air, and we might see some dew come into play. It&#39;s worth noting that out of the four games played here, three were won by the team batting first. The only time a chasing team won was during an afternoon game. With the First Qualifier being such an important game, it&#39;ll be interesting to see what the captains choose to do when they win the toss.&quot;<br \/>\n<img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/commentaryFiles\/IPl Stats Temp 2024 (64)_1748524774.gif\" style=\"width:640px\" \/>&nbsp;<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<strong>TOSS UPDATE: <img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/RCB-text.png\" style=\"height:18px; width:40px\" title=\"\" \/><span style=\"color:#c0392b\">&nbsp;Won The Toss And Elected To Field<\/span><\/strong><\/p><blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">????

In a night dominated by their bowlers and capped off by Phil Salt&rsquo;s blazing 56 off 27*, RCB showcased ruthless precision, putting in a complete performance when it mattered the most.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Batting first after being put in, Punjab Kings were blown away for just 101 in 14.1 overs. The collapse began early&mdash;Josh Hazlewood (3\/21) and Suyash Sharma (3\/17) wreaked havoc with disciplined lines and clever variations. Hazlewood removed the dangerous Inglis and Iyer in quick succession, while Suyash spun a web in the middle overs, picking up Stoinis, Shashank, and Musheer in a damaging spell. Only Stoinis (26 off 17) offered any resistance as wickets fell like dominoes.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Chasing 102 under pressure in a high-stakes game, RCB&rsquo;s opening pair went on the attack. Phil Salt, cool and clinical, smashed 6 fours and 3 sixes en route to a match-winning half-century. Kohli (12) and Mayank Agarwal (19) played supporting cameos, while skipper Rajat Patidar finished it in style with a six.<\/strong><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Shreyas Iyer | Punjab Kings Captain: <\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"color:#2980b9\"><strong>&quot; It&#39;s not a game to forget, but we need to go back to the drawing board and assess everything. We need to start reading the wicket better. We&rsquo;ve lost too many wickets in tandem, and we have a lot to study once we go back.I&rsquo;m not doubting my decisions, honestly. We did everything we could in terms of planning. We couldn&rsquo;t execute in the first innings when it came to scoring runs. I can&#39;t blame the bowlers, as it was such a low total to defend. We need to focus more on our batting, especially on wickets like this.In all the games we&#39;ve played here, there has been some variable bounce, but that&rsquo;s no excuse. We are professionals, and we need to bat according to the situation and live up to it.&nbsp;We may have lost the battle, but not the war.&quot;<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Rajat Patidar | Royal Challengers Bengaluru Captain: <\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"color:#c0392b\"><strong>&quot;We were very clear with our bowling plans. Our fast bowlers used the surface well, and the way Suyash bowled with his line and length was incredible.As a captain, I&rsquo;m very clear on his strengths. His strength is to bowl in line with the stumps, and his googly is very hard to pick. I don&rsquo;t want to confuse him, and we don&rsquo;t mind him conceding a few runs.&nbsp;The way he&rsquo;s been batting in most matches, giving us such great starts, it&#39;s a dream to watch him from the dugout. I&#39;m a huge fan of him.&nbsp;I want to thank the RCB fans. Wherever we go, whether it&#39;s Chinnaswamy or elsewhere, we feel at home. We all love you. Just one more game and let&#39;s celebrate together.&quot;<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Suyash Sharma | Player of the Match: <\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"color:#c0392b\"><strong>&quot; I&#39;m happy with my performance, and everyone is pleased for me. The coaches have given me a clear role: to hit the stumps, whether it&#39;s with googlies, leg spinners, or flippers. Whatever I bowl, it should end up on the stumps. The googly is my stock ball, and the wicket gave me some assistance, which made it tough for the batters to pick them. We&rsquo;ll celebrate hard on June 3rd. Thank you.&quot;<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","MatchOrder":"","MatchDateTime":"2025-05-29 19:30:00","Innings1Overs":"20","Innings2Overs":"20","ProjectedScore":"212","2ndProjectedScore":"0","3rdProjectedScore":"0","RemainingBalls":"60"}]});
