PBKS vs RR Dream11 Prediction:In the 18th fixture of IPL 2025, Punjab Kings will lock horns with Rajasthan Royals at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur on April 5. The clash promises contrasting fortunes as the Kings, currently leading the points table, face a Rajasthan side languishing in ninth place.
Punjab Kings have started their campaign in dominant fashion, winning both of their opening matches. Their most recent outing saw them cruise to an 8-wicket victory against Lucknow Super Giants. Prabhsimran Singh’s fluent 69 and Arshdeep Singh’s clinical 3-wicket spell were the highlights of that encounter.
Meanwhile, Rajasthan Royals managed to secure a narrow 6-run win over Chennai Super Kings in their last match. Nitish Rana was the star with the bat, smashing 86 runs, while Wanindu Hasaranga’s four-wicket haul turned the game in RR’s favour. But overall, their form this season has been patchy, with only one win from three games.
Historically, the Royals hold a slight edge in the head-to-head, having won 16 of the 28 encounters between the two sides. Punjab Kings have 12 wins to their name and will be keen to close that gap, especially given their current form.
Both teams boast powerful batting lineups and game-changers with the ball, but the onus will be on Rajasthan to find consistency and pull off an upset to revive their season.
