Team Preview of Punjab Kings and Royal Challengers Bengaluru

Punjab Kings lost their last match against the Chennai Super Kings by 28 runs at Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium, Dharamsala. It was not what they were hoping for because they wanted a win to move up in the table, but now they are in the 8th position. It is going to be really tough for them to finish in the top 4 as other teams above them have more opportunities and skills to win.

In the last match, Punjab’s bowling unit did well. They were able to keep the Chennai Super Kings on 167 runs after Rahul Chahar and Harshal Patel took wickets each. However, in reply, they were not able to score 168 as CSK was able to stump the Punjab Kings on 139 only. The player of the match was Ravindra Jadeja, who scored 43 and picked up three wickets.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru are on a winning run as they won their last three matches, and two of them came against the Gujarat Titans. In the last match, RCB won the match against Gujarat by four wickets, in which, once again, it was Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis who scored the most runs for their team as their middle order collapsed.

They were 92 runs for a loss of one wicket in the first 6 overs, but then in the next six overs, they lost four wickets under just 41 runs. However, in the end, it was Dinesh Karthik, who is Anil Kapoor of cricket, because he looks the same as he used to be 10-15 years before when he started playing, able to win it for them.

The air is thin here. It’s got a layer of grass. Pretty even but it’s dry grass. The fast bowlers can get some help with the new ball. Spinners are going to struggle here, ball won’t turn much. Wonderful ground for the batters, expect a lot of runs.”
Graeme Swann and Brian Lara

However, what Graeme Swann and Brian Lara said in the last match’s pitch report was wrong, which has been a problem in this IPL. Experts are not able to read the pitch well. Maybe they should wear some specs to see it more clearly or check more stats.

Important players for the Punjab Kings in the match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru

1. Jonny Bairstow will be crucial for the Punjab side to give them a great start, which he failed to do in the last head-to-head against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru, but he does have a 50-run average against them in four matches.
