RCB vs PBKS Dream11 Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Player Stats For 34th Match of IPL 2025
RCB face PBKS in a battle of equals, with both teams eyeing consistency on Chinnaswamy’s unpredictable pitch.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru will face Punjab Kings in the 34th match of IPL 2025 on 18 April 2025, at M.Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru. This article will guide you in making the perfect team for RCB vs PBKS match with expert Dream11 predictions and fantasy cricket tips.
PBKS and RCB enter this clash with identical records—four wins, two losses—but very different recent journeys. RCB’s home form remains a concern. They’ve failed to cross 170 at Chinnaswamy this season, a ground once known for big totals. The pitch has played slower and lower than usual, forcing a rethink in approach. A shift in mindset might help RCB—treating the home venue like an away challenge could free them from the weight of expectations.
PBKS, meanwhile, are riding high after defending the lowest total in IPL history. Chahal’s spell turned the tide, and Arshdeep’s and Jansen’s calm under pressure sealed the deal. Their batting stumbled in Mullanpur, but the win showed they can scrap and claw through games even when their big hitters misfire. With both sides proving stronger away from home, this contest could come down to who adapts quicker to the tricky surface and controls the middle overs better.
