Punjab Kings will look to chase down this total to take home their first ever IPL trophy. They face their rivals for the 4th time this season with RCB winning 2 of them, including Qualifier 1 and PBKS winning 1.
The Punjab Kings bowling attack replicated their successful tactics from the Qualifier 2 against Mumbai Indians, utilizing short-pitched deliveries and pace variations to keep the RCB batsmen in check, with Kyle Jamieson, Azmatullah Omarzai, and Vyshak Vijaykumar playing crucial roles.
RCB wicket-keeper Jitesh Sharma provided some late fireworks with a quickfire knock, including audacious sixes off Arshdeep Singh and Jamieson.
The final is under the threat of rain. However, officials have allotted a two-hour extension to complete the match, with a reserve day (June 4) in place if necessary. Should both days be washed out, PBKS will be crowned champions due to their higher league standing,
