Dream 11 prediction, predicted playing XI, head-to-head, injuries and more

The IPL 2025 final stage is set at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Gujarat. Punjab Kings are all geared up to lock horns against Royal Challengers Bengaluru for the title clash.

Both teams are yet to win their first-ever title and will look to bring their `A-game` out in the middle.

Ahead of the match, the Bengaluru-based franchise will heavily rely on their stalwart Virat Kohli to deliver a big knock on the big occasion. Whereas, Punjab will keep a tab on their skipper Shreyas Iyer, who helped the side seal the final berth by playing a match-winning knock against the Mumbai Indians.
