Punjab Kings' aggressive batting strategy backfired spectacularly in Qualifier 1 of IPL 2025, as they were bowled out for a mere 101 by Royal Challengers Bengaluru.

While Punjab’s batting failed miserably, they might find some hope in their league-stage win over KKR at the same venue, where they defended 111 on a similarly challenging pitch.
