RCB vs PBKS Head to Head Records Ahead of The 33rd Match of IPL 2025
RCB vs PBKS preview: head-to-head stats, form guide, and key insights ahead of IPL 2025 clash in Bengaluru

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) square off in a crucial top-half encounter at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. With both teams locked at four wins and two losses apiece, this Match 34 clash could create some separation at the upper end of the IPL 2025 points table.
RCB have struggled to make home advantage count this season, failing to post competitive totals at Chinnaswamy, traditionally known for high scores. However, they come into this game on the back of a dominant win over Rajasthan Royals, powered by a disciplined bowling effort and fifties from Phil Salt and Virat Kohli.
Punjab Kings also bring momentum after a dramatic win over KKR, where they defended the lowest total in IPL history, thanks to match-turning spells from Yuzvendra Chahal and clutch wickets by Arshdeep Singh and Marco Jansen. With both teams thriving more on the road than at home, success in this game may depend on who adjusts better to the unpredictable Bengaluru pitch.
In terms of head-to-head records, Punjab Kings have a slight edge over Royal Challengers Bengaluru, having won 17 of the 33 encounters so far, with RCB winning 16. However, RCB have won three of the last five clashes, including a 60-run victory on 9 May 2024. PBKS claimed back-to-back wins in their 2022 meetings but have since trailed their southern rivals
