IPL 2025 Qualifier 1, PBKS vs RCB: Weather-Pitch Report, Live Cricket Score Streaming Online and Telecast Details
IPL 2025 Qualifier 1 Match, PBKS vs RCB Live Cricket Score Streaming Online, Pitch-Weather Forecast Report: Punjab Kings and Royal Challengers Bengaluru have been the topic of many a joke over the years due to their lack of an Indian Premier League (IPL). However, this season, they have arguably been two of the most complete sides in the league and are now set to face off in Qualifier 1 with a spot in the final at stake.
Head coach Ricky Ponting and captain Shreyas Iyer seem to have hit the nail on the head in their first attempt itself as the Kings made it to the playoffs for the first time in more than a decade in just their first season with the team. RCB, on the other hand, have been a fairly regular fixture in the playoffs but this is the first time since 2016 that they finished in the top two.
The average score in Mullanpur has been 173 and teams batting first have won three times out of four. It has to be said, though, that the scores here have varied quite wildly. Threre were three 200-plus totals in the first two matches of the season. However, we saw teams being all out for scores like 111 and 95 in the last two matches. In fact, the last match to be played in Mullanpur happens to be between these two sides itself on April 20. At the time, RCB restricted PBKS to a score of 157/6 in 20 overs and won the match by seven wickets.
It has been warm and dry days in Chandigarh of late and the forecast is the same for the day of the match. The temperature is expected to hover around 30 degrees Celsius and so it will be a hot evening. There is no forecast for rain.

Back with a bang! Karun Nair returns to national set up with century for India 'A' against England Lions
Karun Nair celebrated his return to the Indian Test team after a gap of eight years as he notched up a century for India 'A' against England Lions in Canterbury on Friday. In the first of three warm up games ahead of India's Test series against England, the stylish right-handed batsman hit 14 fours as he brought up his century in 155 balls. This is a big statement from the right handed batsman, who is looking to grab one of the top order positions left vacant by the retirements of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. Put in to bat first, India 'A' opened the innings with Yashasvi Jaiswal (24 of 55) and captain Abhimanyu Easwaran (8 of 17). Nair came out to bat at Number 3, in the sixth over, after the captain was dismissed and he stitched a huge partnership with Sarfaraz Khan, who batted at Number 4. The duo put on 181 runs for the third wicket before Khan was out for 92 (119), short of a well-deserved century. The 27-year-old Mumbai batsman played at an innocuous delivery, which was going down leg side, as his bottom edge made contact with the ball. He was brilliantly caught by England Lions captain and wicketkeeper James Rew low to his left. With the Indian Premier League still going on with many of the Test team's top order contenders still on duty for their franchises, Nair has just bumped himself up the queue regarding securing a spot in the Indian starting lineup in the England tour with this century. Ever since the Indian squad for the 5-Test tour of England was announced, there has been a lot of chatter regarding which batters will play across the top order. Veteran batsman Cheteshwar Pujara had his say, during a recent interview to a broadcaster, on this topic and stated, "The openers who batted in Australia in the BGT (Border-Gavaskar Trophy) series — KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal — should continue. Now talking about No. 3, at this stage we don't know whether Shubman Gill will bat there or drop to No. 4. "Someone like Karun, who has done well in domestic cricket, I think the ideal position for Karun would be No. 4. If Shubman bats at No. 3, then Karun Nair comes in at No. 4," he said. While the likes of Jaiswal, KL Rahul, and new skipper Shubman Gill will most likely occupy three of the top four positions, Nair will have to fend off Easwaran and Gujarat Titans' star Sai Sudharsan for the remaining spot in the top four. A century in the first warm up game will only help Nair's case for a starting spot in the team.

After Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma achieves this stunning IPL feat
etched another milestone in his storied Indian Premier League (IPL) career, becoming only the second player to cross 7000 runs in the tournament. He achieved the feat during a fluent knock of 81 off 50 balls in the high-stakes Eliminator against Gujarat Titans at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in New Chandigarh on Friday. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The former captain led from the front, standing firm against Gujarat's bowling unit. With this achievement, he joined as the only players in IPL history to surpass the 7000-run mark. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Rohit's innings was a fine display of his aggressive flair, peppered with nine fours and four sixes. However, it wasn't a flawless effort, as Gujarat Titans dropped him twice—errors that proved costly. His first reprieve came when he was on 3, mistiming a pull off Gerald Coetzee only for the South African pacer to put down a straightforward chance in the deep. Just an over later, Rohit edged a delivery from Mohammed Siraj, but Kusal Mendis failed to hold on behind the stumps. Nicknamed 'The Hitman', Rohit capitalised on those lifelines, punishing Sai Kishore with two boundaries and a towering six. Alongside Jonny Bairstow, he helped Mumbai Indians post 79 without loss in the powerplay—their highest powerplay score in IPL playoff history. He brought up the 7000-run milestone in style, sweeping Rashid Khan over the boundary for six in the ninth over. That maximum also saw him complete 300 sixes in the IPL. Rohit reached his 47th IPL half-century soon after, getting to the mark in 28 balls with a four off Kishore. 'I don't want to be a one-season wonder': Punjab Kings' Shashank Singh Since debuting in 2008 with the Deccan Chargers, Rohit has been a cornerstone of the league. He won his first IPL title with the Chargers in 2009, before joining Mumbai Indians in 2011 and leading them to five championships. He has now amassed over 7000 runs from 271 matches, maintaining an average close to 30. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Rohit's innings finally came to an end when he miscued a slower ball from Prasidh Krishna, sending it high towards midwicket where Rashid Khan safely completed the catch. Despite missing out on a century, his powerful knock had already left a lasting impact on the game.
