The much-awaited day is here as Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) face off in the final of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. The match will take place at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. These two teams already met in Qualifier 1, where RCB won comfortably by 8 wickets. Since then, Punjab Kings, led by Shreyas Iyer, have bounced back strongly by beating the five-time champions Mumbai Indians in Qualifier 2, setting up a thrilling final against RCB.

Fans are divided about who will win the trophy, but we turned to popular AI platforms: Grok, Gemini, and ChatGPT, for their predictions. Surprisingly, all three picked the same winner.

Grok’s Prediction
Grok believes RCB has the upper hand. Their win over PBKS in Qualifier 1 was dominant, bowling out PBKS for just 101 runs and chasing the target easily with plenty of balls to spare. RCB’s bowling attack, led by Josh Hazlewood who took 21 wickets in 11 matches, and Suyash Sharma, has been very strong. Their batting, with stars like Virat Kohli scoring 614 runs at an average of 55.81, and Phil Salt in excellent form, also looks solid.

RCB’s record at Ahmedabad is good too, with six out of eight teams winning when batting first at this ground. Experts like David Warner and Shane Watson back RCB, and Warner even predicted Josh Hazlewood as the Player of the Match.


Punjab Kings, on the other hand, showed great fight in Qualifier 2 by chasing a big target of 203 against Mumbai Indians. Shreyas Iyer’s unbeaten 87 helped them secure the win. PBKS also has strong players like Liam Livingstone and Jitesh Sharma with the bat, and bowlers like Kyle Jamieson and Yuzvendra Chahal. But their earlier collapse against RCB shows they might struggle under pressure.

Overall, Grok thinks RCB’s form, balanced team, and experience make them the favourites to win. It could be close if PBKS gets the chance to chase under favourable conditions, but RCB’s strength gives them the edge.

Gemini’s View
Gemini says this final is highly anticipated because both teams want their first-ever IPL trophy. While RCB might have a slight advantage due to recent wins this season and their strong qualifier performance, Punjab Kings have shown resilience and can challenge any team with their powerful batting.

Gemini thinks the match outcome will depend a lot on the toss and weather conditions on the day. It’s a tough call to pick a winner, but if forced, Gemini leans just a little towards Royal Challengers Bengaluru.

ChatGPT’s Take
ChatGPT agrees that RCB is the favourite, given their consistent form and their wins over Punjab Kings this season, including the easy victory in Qualifier 1. But ChatGPT warns that PBKS, led by Shreyas Iyer, could still pose a strong challenge.

The prediction from ChatGPT is a narrow victory for RCB, mainly because of their current form and head-to-head advantage this season.
