RR vs PBKS – IPL 2025 59th Match Results

updated：Punjab Kings beat Rajasthan Royals by 10 runs.

Punjab Kings pulled off a stunning 10-run win over Rajasthan Royals in Jaipur, keeping their playoff dreams alive and kicking! Things looked rough early on for PBKS. They were 34/3 in just 4 overs, but Nehal Wadhera had other ideas. Smacking 70 off 37 balls, he brought the innings back to life. Captain Shreyas Iyer chipped in, and then Shashank Singh (59* off 30) and Azmatullah Omarzai went full throttle at the death, lifting the total to a hefty 219/5.

In reply, RR came out all guns blazing, with Yashasvi Jaiswal and 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi putting on a jaw-dropping 76-run opening stand in no time. But Harpreet Brar’s crafty spin changed the game — he snatched three key wickets, including Jaiswal and Parag, slowing RR’s charge. Dhruv Jurel tried to drag it back with a fighting 53, but Marco Jansen held his nerve in the final over. With 17 points now, PBKS are nearly through to the playoffs and might just be peaking at the perfect time.

RR vs PBKS –  IPL 2025 59th Match Pre-Match Chat:

The 59th match of IPL 2025 will be held on May 18 at 3:30 PM IST at Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur. This match will feature Rajasthan Royals (RR) against Punjab Kings (PBKS). RR finished as the runner-up in IPL 2024, while PBKS ended near the bottom of the table. There’s a notable gap in their NRR data, but as mentioned in the earlier post about their first encounter, both teams won one match each in their previous meetings last season. Given that PBKS secured their win in match 65, perhaps RR was conserving energy for the playoffs. Now, as both teams meet again near the end of the season, PBKS will look to repeat their success and claim another win.
