It has been reported that if it rains in the first qualifier of the 2025 IPL series between royal challengers Bangalore and punjab Kings, it will have a big impact on one team. The 2025 IPL series did not take place as planned and was restarted after a gap of a few days due to the India-Pakistan war tension. Due to this, some changes have been made to the match schedule. Accordingly, no reserve day has been allotted for the first three matches of the IPL play-off round - namely, the first qualifier (Qualifier 1), the elimination match (Eliminator), and the second qualifier (Qualifier 2). There is a reserve day only for the IPL final match.
Accordingly, if the first qualifier to be held in Mullanpur is not possible due to rain, the team ahead in the points table will be declared the winner. In that situation, the punjab Kings team, who are at the top of the points table, will directly qualify for the final. The royal challengers Bangalore team, who are in second place in the points table, will have to play in the next elimination match. The same situation will happen in the Eliminator match to be held tomorrow. In it, the gujarat Titans and mumbai Indians teams are going to face each other. If that match is interrupted due to rain, the gujarat Titans team will advance to the second qualifier while being in third place in the points table.

Although the punjab and Bangalore teams have 19 points each, the rain will be in the punjab Kings team's favor as they are at the top of the points table based on net run rate. royal challengers Bangalore are second in terms of net run rate, so rain will be a setback for the team. However, according to the weather report, the chance of rain in Mullanpur is very low.
