The 34th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on Friday was delayed due to rain.
The toss for the RCB-PBKS clash was set to take place at 7 PM IST but it was delayed due to a steady drizzle. Thereafter, the start of play, scheduled for 7:30 PM IST, was also delayed.
Notably, Chinnaswamy Stadium has a brilliant drainage system which means that the match can start as soon as rain stops. There was a possibility of a full 20-over match if the match could start by 8:50 PM IST. Meanwhile, both teams need to play a minimum five-over match for a result.
