Here's out full guide to where to watch the IPL final live stream online right now as the T20 showdown commences. Advertisement Both sides finished the league phase with identical records, but Punjab took top billing by virtue of their marginally superior NRR (0.372 to 0.301). However, Bengaluru mauled them in Qualifier 1, as Shreyas Iyer's men badly misinterpreted the batting conditions. PBKS were bowled out for 101 in 14.1 overs, Suyash Sharma and Josh Hazlewood taking three wickets apiece, and RCB needed just 10 overs to complete the chase. It's gone down in the books as the biggest thrashing in the history of the IPL playoffs. Iyer, however, is no fool. He's the first player to have led three different teams to the IPL final, and he dazzled in Punjab's redemptive Qualifier 2 victory over the Mumbai Indians. For all of his accomplishments, however, it's his opposite number who stands to be the story of the IPL final. Virat Kohli, who at 36 is in the twilight of his career, has spent all 18 seasons of the IPL with RCB. He's never been an IPL champion.

Indian cricket to make 'final decision' on IPL over Pakistan conflict
Spectators leave after the Indian Premier League (IPL) Twenty20 cricket match between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals was abandoned due to a significant technical failure at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala Image: SHAMMI MEHRA/AFP Indian cricket will decide on Friday what happens to the rest of the IPL season, a senior official said, after deadly confrontations between nuclear-armed India and Pakistan. An Indian Premier League match between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals in Dharamsala -- less than 200 kilometres (125 miles) from the town of Jammu, where explosions were reported hours earlier -- was abandoned Thursday because of apparent floodlight failure. Sunday's game between Punjab and Mumbai Indians, which had been due to take place in Dharamsala, has been moved. "We are monitoring the situation, seeking the government's advice, and will take the final decision on the IPL tomorrow," Rajeev Shukla, vice-president of cricket board the BCCI, told The Indian Express on Thursday. "The situation is changing day by day. We will do whatever we are told and inform all stakeholders. "At the moment, our priority is the safety of all players, fans and stakeholders." The newspaper -- without disclosing its sources -- said that the BCCI is "keeping its options open", with suspending the world's richest cricket league or revising its itinerary among possible options. The 10-team competition, which features numerous cricket stars from around the world, started on March 22. The final is scheduled for May 25 at Kolkata's Eden Gardens and typically attracts a vast global television audience. Cricket Australia and the Australian Cricketers' Association are in regular contact with players about the situation and giving support, The Age in Melbourne reported. Australians Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, Travis Head and Mitch Marsh are all in the IPL, while former skipper Ricky Ponting coaches Punjab. Pakistan cricket has already taken the decision to move the remaining matches in its T20 league to the United Arab Emirates because of player safety. India and Pakistan have fought two of their three full-scale wars over Kashmir, a disputed territory that both claim in full but administer separate portions of since gaining independence from British rule in 1947.
