PBKS vs RR Dream11 Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Player Stats For 18th Match of IPL 2025
Punjab Kings take on Rajasthan Royals in Mullanpur, where spinners dominate and totals rarely cross 200
Punjab Kings will face Rajasthan Royals in the 17th match of IPL 2025 on 5 April 2025, at Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, Mullanpur, Chandigarh. This article will guide you in making the perfect team for PBKS vs RR match with expert Dream11 predictions and fantasy cricket tips.
Punjab Kings (PBKS) return to Mullanpur for a key clash against Rajasthan Royals (RR), hoping to overturn their poor record at the venue. Despite strong form this season, PBKS have struggled in Mullanpur—losing 4 of 5 games there—and have yet to win a match in Dharamsala, highlighting their inconsistency across home venues since 2023.
However, Shreyas Iyer’s composed leadership and Ricky Ponting’s strategic backing have brought new stability to the squad. PBKS have impressed with both bat and ball this season, making them a formidable opponent despite the venue record.
Rajasthan Royals, meanwhile, come into the game with renewed confidence after beating CSK, but early losses and top-order woes—particularly Yashasvi Jaiswal’s slump—are concerns. Their middle-order, with Nitish Rana and Dhruv Jurel, has provided resilience, while Jofra Archer appears to be regaining his rhythm
