The Punjab Kings are gearing up to take on the Rajasthan Royals in the 18th match of IPL 2025 at the Maharaja Yadavindra International Stadium in Mullanpur.

The Punjab Kings have kicked off the season with a bang, winning both of their matches so far, which puts them right at the top of the points table. Their recent win against LSG by eight wickets has really boosted their spirits as they head into this game. With the home crowd cheering them on, the Punjab Kings are eager to put on a fantastic show for their fans.

However, with one victory and two defeats in their first three games, the Rajasthan Royals have had a rather difficult start and are now in ninth position in the standings. They did, however, manage to defeat CSK in their most recent game, and they hope to build on that accomplishment. The Rajasthan Royals are prepared for what could be an interesting and thrilling encounter, with Sanju Samson most likely making a comeback as captain.
