PBKS vs RR Dream11 Prediction, Dream11 Playing XI, Today Match 18, IPL 2025 (Indian T20 League)

Dream11 fantasy XI tips and guide for the match 18 of the IPL 2025 between PBKS vs RR to be played in Chandigarh.

Punjab Kings (PBKS), with a new captain, new team, and new coaching staff, have shown an incredible transformation in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. The duo of Shreyas Iyer and Ricky Ponting have done wonders for them, and they are at the top of the points table.

PBKS have won both of their games, and they will play their first home game. They will square off with Rajasthan Royals (RR) on Saturday evening at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, Mullanpur, Chandigarh.

It took RR three games to get their first points on the board. They beat Chennai Super Kings in their last game. But the positive for them is the return of Sanju Samson as captain.

Samson has gotten the green signal from the Board of Control for Cricket in India’s (BCCI) medical team and will lead RR in remainder of the games. Both teams had a dominating win in their last match and will be looking to have their best foot forward.
