PBKS predicted playing XI vs RR: In the 18th match of IPL 2025, the in-form Punjab Kings (PBKS) will be facing the out-of-touch Rajasthan Royals (RR) at PCA cricket stadium in Mullanpur. This will be the first home game for Punjab, who has seen success in the last two encounters against Gujarat Titans and Lucknow Super Giants in the away games. Meanwhile, RR has struggled, winning only 1 match out of the three they have played. This match is expected to be a tough one as PBKS and RR share a history of close contests against each other. Wpunhat will be Punjab Kings’ combination for this match?
Punjab Kings to go with same XI
Punjab Kings’ situation is tricky. They have named two different players, according to the game situation, as impact sub. The equation is clear. They want someone to play at number-4. They tried playing Omarzai, which didn’t work, so they played Lokie Ferguson and called in Nehal Wadhera as sub, who actually created an impact.
Looking at the last enounter against LSG, now Punjab might go with the same XI, as Nehal to come as an impact sub.
What about Vijaykumar Vyshak?
Lokie had a decent spell in his debut match for Punjab Kings in the last encounter. Also, bringing Nehal also worked for them, which means its a win-win situation for the team. Punjab might not go with Vyshak for this game, means, he has to warn the match for this match. Not just Vyshak, but even Omarzai’s place in the XII looks uncertain.
