This market centers on the outcome of an Indian Premier League match between Punjab Kings and Royal Challengers Bengaluru, using the completion of that scheduled fixture as the defining reference point for determining the result. The match serves as a discrete milestone within the IPL calendar, marking when one side is officially recorded as the winner under the competition’s rules and match procedures. Traders are assessing which team will secure that official victory relative to the conclusion of the scheduled fixture, weighing the result that is ultimately entered for the match once play is complete.

1. Market Outcomes and Resolution Criteria: This market resolves to "PBKS" if Punjab Kings is officially recorded as the winner of this IPL match. It resolves to "RCB" if Royal Challengers Bengaluru is officially recorded as the winner. It resolves to "Tie" if the match is abandoned, declared "No Result," tied without a subsequent tie-break winner, or concluded without an officially declared winner; in the event of a Tie resolution, all positions settle at $0.50 per share.
2. Definition of Official Winner: "Officially recorded as the winner" means the team listed as the winner in the finalized result of this IPL match, as determined under IPL playing conditions. This includes outcomes determined via regulation play, DLS adjustments, forfeits, walkovers, or any officially sanctioned tie-break method such as a Super Over.
3. Official Sources and Evidence: The primary source for resolution is the finalized match result as published by official IPL sources and recognized by the IPL or its official organizers. Secondary sources, including major cricket data providers and reputable sports news outlets, may be used for corroboration but cannot override clear, later-dated official publications.
4. Handling Ties and Special Match Outcomes: If the match ends tied and a tie-break is conducted under applicable playing conditions, the winner of that tie-break determines the outcome. If the match ends tied without a tie-break, or otherwise ends with no officially declared winner, the market resolves to "Tie".
5. Handling Postponements and Cancellations: If this match is not completed, is cancelled, or no official winner is declared within 24 hours of the originally scheduled start time, the market resolves to "Tie."
6. Resolution Timing: The market will be resolved as soon as reasonably practical after the official result is published by the IPL, or once it becomes clear that no qualifying result will be recorded.
7. Ambiguities and Disputes: If conflicting information exists regarding the result of this match, the most recent official publication recognized by the IPL takes precedence. In any remaining ambiguous case not explicitly covered above, the resolver will rely on official IPL match records to determine the outcome.
