Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Punjab Kings Preview


The Royal Challengers have often throughout the years had the most star-studded side but have never actually won the title. This year, I am backing them to break their duck in the competition with Virat Kohli set to lead the way.

Head-to-Head


Four of the last five matches between these sides have gone RCB's way.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru Form


Royal Challengers Bengaluru made it three wins from their last four completed matches when they beat the Punjab Kings by eight wickets. 

The Kings were rolled for 101 off just 14.1 overs. Josh Hazlewood (3/21, econ 6.63) and Suyash Sharma (3/17, econ 5.66) were sensational with the ball. 

Royal Challengers reached their target for the loss of two wickets off just 10 overs to book their place in the final. Phil Salt (56* off 27 balls) top-scored for the Royal Challengers. 

Royal Challengers Bengaluru Team News


The Royal Challengers are in good form and are unlikely to make any changes to their team. Virat Kohli’s form with the bat will be key for RCB. 

Punjab Kings Form


Punjab Kings made it two wins and two defeats from their last four matches when they beat the Mumbai Indians by five wickets in Qualifier 2. 

Mumbai Indians batted well to post 203/6 off their 20 overs. Azmatullah Omarzai (2/43) returned the best figures for the Kings, but Kyle Jamieson (1/30, econ 7.50) gave the Mumbai batters the biggest challenge. 

The Kings timed their chase perfectly, reaching their target for the loss of five wickets and with one over to spare.  Shreyas Iyer (87* off 41 balls) and Nehal Wadhera (48 off 29 balls) shared an 84-run stand for the fourth wicket that set up the victory.

Punjab Kings Team News


The Kings have enjoyed a great season with the bat, but have suffered with a bit of inconsistency in recent matches. They will be looking for a top performance.

Verdict

I am backing Royal Challengers Bengaluru to win. I am also backing Virat Kohli to top score for Royal Challengers Bengaluru.

Shreyas Iyer is a good bet to top score for the Punjab Kings.
