Match No. 59 of the 2025 IPL will pit the Rajasthan Royals against the Punjab Kings at Jaipur’s Sawai Mansingh Stadium. With one victory, Punjab Kings will go to the final four, while RR will not be able to make the playoffs.
The Royals have only won three of their 12 games this season, which has left them in ninth place on the points standings. Their most recent game finished in a thrilling encounter versus KKR in Kolkata. Andre Russell provided KKR with the ideal boost to support their total after they had been cruising through the first three quarters of their innings.
Varun Chakravarthy struck in the middle overs to put RR five down in the seventh over after they had begun to lose two wickets in the opening two overs of the innings, which was concerning. Riyan Parag owned the show, and Shimron Hetmyer was content to play a supporting role. In his spectacular 95-run innings, Parag blasted sixes off six balls he faced in a row, albeit over two overs, and hammered the KKR bowlers all over the pitch.
The game finally changed once Parag was fired, and KKR fought back. Vaibhav Arora was eventually put in charge of defending 19 runs off the final four balls. Arora gave KKR a one-run victory by successfully defending three runs off the final ball after Shubham Dubey hit 6, 4, 6.
For all those involved, the final Punjab Kings game was undoubtedly a terrifying event. Prabhsimran Singh and Priyansh Arya scored fifty runs and 122 in 10 overs against the Delhi Capitals in Dharamsala before T Natarajan broke the silence. The match was cancelled due to a floodlight problem that occurred during the fall of the wicket. The announcement of the IPL 2025 suspension came less than twenty-four hours later.
Following the tournament’s rescheduling, it was determined that the PBKS vs. DC match at Dharamsala was void, with neither runs nor wickets counted towards the players’ records. Prior to it, PBKS had defeated LSG handily in the match that was played in Dharamsala.
