IPL 2025: Match 18 – PBKS vs RR Predictions – Who will win Today? Match Preview, Expert Tips, Toss & Betting Odds
PBKS vs RR IPL 2025 Match 18 preview, toss prediction, win probability, and match winner at Mullanpur, Chandigarh
Punjab Kings will host Rajasthan Royals in Match 18 of IPL 2025 at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur, Chandigarh, on April 5. PBKS are unbeaten this season and come into the contest as favorites, while RR aim to build on their recent win over CSK.
Punjab Kings have found early momentum under Shreyas Iyer’s captaincy and Ricky Ponting’s guidance. Despite a poor record at Mullanpur, their balanced squad — with consistent batting and disciplined bowling — has made them a strong contender this season. The likes of Liam Livingstone, Shashank Singh, and Kagiso Rabada have delivered key performances.
Rajasthan Royals, on the other hand, are yet to fire on all cylinders. Their top order, especially Yashasvi Jaiswal, has struggled, and captain Sanju Samson’s inconsistency has added pressure. However, their spin duo of Wanindu Hasaranga and Maheesh Theekshana has shown promise, and Jofra Archer is slowly finding rhythm with the ball.
