IPL 2025 Final RCB vs PBKS: Hourly Rain Update And Pitch Report In Ahmedabad
Rain is expected to frustrate RCB and PBKS in Ahmedabad today, as the two teams square off in IPL 2025 final.
The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 summit clash holds a bit of uncertainty, with rain expected to play a part in the title-decider between the Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Punjab Kings on Tuesday. The Qualifier 2 at the same venue - between Punjab Kings and Mumbai Indians - also led to a delayed start despite the probability of rain being considerably lower. On Tuesday, PBKS and RCB find themselves in a similar situation, with weather portals predicting showers till right before the start of the match.
