RCB vs PBKS Match 34 M Chinnaswamy Stadium Pitch Report
From what we have seen on this stadium so far, the tracks in this ground, especially under the lights, seem to be a little slow, with something here for the spinners and wily pacers. The batters might struggle here, especially in the second inning, if the dew doesn’t fall. However, with the game being under lights, the cracks in the pitch will appear at a lesser frequency, allowing batters to combat spin and score some runs. Despite the low scores in the previous match, it didn’t have a lot to do with the pitch.
RCB vs PBKS Match 34 Weather Report
It will be a pleasant evening to play cricket, with temperatures in the mid-20s. There will be some cloud coverage with a small chance of light rain. The winds will be moderate, and the humidity will be on the higher end

The 3 players to watch out for in the RCB vs PBKS Dream11 Prediction IPL 2025 are:
- Royal Challengers Bengaluru batter Virat Kohli showed off his class in his team’s most recent match, scoring a fine half-century. With the support of an attacking batting order around him, Kohli has been able to do this season what he does best: score big runs and anchor his team to massive totals.
- Punjab Kings bowler Yuzvendra Chahal finally showed some form in IPL 2025 in his side’s previous game against KKR, taking four wickets. Not only is the veteran leggie looking like his old self now, but he will also play this match in a stadium which he called home for the better part of a decade back when he played for RCB for eight seasons.
- Royal Challengers Bengaluru batter and captain Rajat Patidar has played the role of middle-order bully this season well. He has scored a lot of quick runs in the middle order this season, playing a big part in RCB scoring big totals. Not only that, but he has also impressed with his captaincy this season and might just take this team to their first-ever IPL title
