AI Predictions On RCB vs PBKS Final
When prompted to make predictions, all three AI models Grok, Gemini, and ChatGPT tilted toward RCB as the likelier winners.
Gemini: Acknowledging PBKS’s firepower and resilience, cautiously stated that RCB 'might have a slight edge' owing to their head-to-head dominance this season.
ChatGPT: Given RCB's consistent form and previous victories over PBKS, including the dominant win in Qualifier 1, they are considered favourites but the match could still be close.
Grok: It is important to mention that according to Grok, RCB will win the IPL 2025 final narrowly. But it also stated that the franchise need to maintain their bowling discipline and handle the high-scoring conditions. However, PBKS’s resilience makes them a dangerous underdog.
RCB’s journey to the final has been nothing short of dominant. In Qualifier 1, Rajat Patidar’s side handed PBKS a crushing eight-wicket defeat. On the other hand, PBKS bounced back strongly in Qualifier 2 after their earlier defeat. In a thrilling contest against five-time champions, PBKS chased down a mammoth 203-run target, with significant contribution by Shreyas Iyer's unbeaten 87 runs off 41 balls.
