RCB vs PBKS: Who Will Lift The Trophy Tomorrow? ChatGPT Predicts IPL Final 2025 Winner

The IPL 2025 final is just 24 hours away, and the excitement around this eagerly anticipated match between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) is reaching fever pitch. The RCB vs PBKS match will be live telecasted on Star Sports Network and the Jio Hotstar app and website. With both teams chasing their first ever Indian Premier League title, fans are eagerly debating who will lift the trophy at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on June 3. In the middle of all this excitement, ChatGPT, OpenAI's advanced AI, has given its own prediction.

RCB to Break the 18 Year old Jinx?

According to ChatGPT, the Royal Challengers Bengaluru are more likely to emerge as the winners of IPL 2025.
ChatGPT said, "Based on current form, momentum, and past head-to-head performance, I think Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) are more likely to win the IPL 2025 final.

They've dominated Punjab Kings recently, have the best away record this season, and their bowling attack looks lethal. If Virat Kohli fires, this might finally be RCB's year."

The AI bases this call on a number of performance-related factors:

• RCB are in red-hot form, having won all seven of their away games this season.
• In Qualifier 1, they completely outplayed Punjab Kings by bowling them out for just 101 runs and chasing the target in only 10 overs.
• The return of Josh Hazlewood has further strengthened RCB's bowling, giving them an edge in powerplay and death overs.
• Virat Kohli, the franchise's leading run-scorer, is in solid touch and looks hungry to finally claim the IPL trophy.

  

That said, Punjab Kings are not to be underestimated. Led by an in-form Shreyas Iyer, who has already scored over 600 runs this season, PBKS stormed into the final with a solid win over the Mumbai Indians in Qualifier 2. All-rounder Marcus Stoinis and keeper-batsman Josh Inglis have also played crucial roles in their journey. In case of a rain-affected washout, PBKS could even be declared champions by virtue of topping the points table, another reason fans believe their time has come.

What the Numbers Say

Even Google's match prediction model gives RCB a slight edge with a 52% winning probability, while former cricketer David Warner has also backed them to clinch the title.

IPL 2025 is finally ending and it will be very interesting to see if the Bengaluru boys could be the ones celebrating on Tuesday night, ending their 18-year long wait, or if the Punjab Kings will create history.
