The Ahmedabad weather is expected to be kind for the blockbuster IPL 2025 Final between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Punjab Kings (PBKS). There is a chance of some afternoon showers, but they should clear in time for the match at Narendra Modi Stadium.
Afternoon showers could spice up the pitch a little depending on how long the surface is under cover for. However, Ahmedabad has been a batting paradise all season, including Qualifier 2 between PBKS and Mumbai Indians (MI) despite a delayed start due to rain.
Ahmedabad weather for IPL 2025 Final: Conditions set to be clear for huge RCB vs PBKS showdown
According to AccuWeather, the forecast is for “times of sun and clouds with a shower in the area in the afternoon.” The reliable weather platform forecasts for 1.1mm of rain to fall, with the highest chance of precipitation around 5-6pm local time.
However, conditions should be clear from 7pm onwards. There is only a 2% chance of precipitation during match hours, according to AccuWeather’s hourly forecast.
The key question is how much dew there will be in the second innings. There are clouds around in Ahmedabad, but perhaps not enough to limit moisture on the outfield. It will make for an interesting call at the toss, but chasing is likely to be preferred given how PBKS fared in Qualifier 2 thanks mainly to an outstanding knock by Shreyas Iyer.
However, teams batting first have won six of the eight matches at Narendra Modi Stadium this season. Whichever team bats first needs a big score. The average first innings total here in IPL 2025 is 218, with 200 breached in seven of the eight games.
A long, 18-year wait is set to end for either RCB or PBKS. With numerous tactical matchups and high emotion, the stage is set for a potential classic.
