Punjab Kings crumbled under pressure in Qualifier 1 of IPL 2025, getting bowled out for just 101 in 14.1 overs after being asked to bat first by RCB. Despite a quick 18 off 10 from Prabhsimran Singh and 26 from Marcus Stoinis, PBKS failed to build partnerships as wickets fell rapidly.
Suyash Sharma starred with the ball, claiming 3 for 17, while Josh Hazlewood also picked up 3 wickets for 21. Yash Dayal added two crucial scalps. The middle and lower order offered no resistance, with debutant Musheer Khan departing for a duck and no batter beyond Stoinis crossing 20.
RCB's disciplined bowling and smart tactics restricted Punjab to a below-par total, putting them in a commanding position for a place in the final...🔥
PBKS vs RCB Live Score: Punjab Bundles Up For 101!💀
Bengaluru Wraps Things Up! Josh Hazlewood wasted no time as he struck with the very first ball of his new spell to wrap up Punjab Kings' innings for just 101 runs. Bowling over the wicket, he delivered a back-of-a-length seam-up ball on the fourth stump line, angled in but holding its shape.
Azmatullah Omarzai stepped out to slog across the line but only managed a thick outside edge. Wicketkeeper Jitesh Sharma timed his leap perfectly to his right and pulled off a stunning one-handed catch to seal the innings.
PBKS vs RCB Live Updates: Punjab Seek Hope After 13 Overs😟
Suyash Sharma continued to impress in his third over, keeping Punjab Kings under pressure with his sharp googlies. He started with a tidy delivery to Azmatullah Omarzai, who backed away and cut it to deep point for a single.
Omarzai then broke the shackles with a much-needed six over cow corner, connecting well with a slog sweep. But Suyash bounced back immediately, giving away just two more runs and troubling Harpreet Brar with clever variations. He ended the over with tight lines, conceding only nine runs...
PBKS: 92/8 (13.0)

PBKS vs RCB Live Updates: Bengaluru In Full Control🔥
Well... Suyash Sharma delivered a game-changing over, conceding just two runs and claiming two vital wickets, including debutant Musheer Khan. The leg-spinner trapped Musheer LBW with a clever leg-break on middle and leg, prompting a loud appeal that umpire Michael Gough upheld.
Musheer reviewed the decision, but ball-tracking confirmed three reds, ending his innings on a bronze duck. His dismissal not only left Punjab reeling at 60/7 but also cost them a review, deepening their troubles in a disastrous batting performance....
PBKS: 62/7 (9.2)

However, he played it away from his body and ended up getting a thick inside edge. The ball crashed into the stumps, sending Wadhera back to the pavilion. With that dismissal, Punjab Kings lost their fifth wicket, reeling at 52/5 in the seventh over...
