The 18th match of Indian Premier League 2025 will see Punjab Kings (PBKS) take on Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, Mullanpur, Chandigarh.

Punjab Kings have had a strong start to their season, winning both of their opening matches in dominant fashion, defeating Gujarat Titans by 11 runs and Lucknow Super Giants by 8 wickets. With two comprehensive wins, they are eyeing their third consecutive victory to stay at the top of the table. The Punjab squad looks more balanced and confident this season, displaying a brand of cricket that is both aggressive and disciplined. They have shown early signs of being strong contenders in IPL 2025.

On the other hand, Rajasthan Royals have struggled to find momentum, managing only one win from their first three games, a victory over Chennai Super Kings in Guwahati. They have suffered losses to Sunrisers Hyderabad and Kolkata Knight Riders. The Royals' top order, including Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson, and Nitish Rana, has been inconsistent. However, Rana showed signs of form with a blistering 81 off 36 balls in their win over CSK. Rajasthan will be keen to bounce back and secure another win to stabilise their position in the standings.
