RCB vs PBKS Who will win?
Royal Challengers Bangalore made a strong start against Chennai Super Kings but their middle order failed massively. They will hope their stat-studded batting will fire in the familiar conditions. Meanwhile, their bowling will also have to improve massively if they want to stop Shikhar Dhawan & co.
On the other hand, Punjab Kings produced a solid performance with the ball in their opening game. They will hope for a similar performance against a strong batting unit of RCB. Meanwhile, they will expect more runs from their top-order as they don’t have a long batting unit.
Punjab Kings are looking sorted in both batting and bowling at the moment, while RCB have their familiar bowling woes. Furthermore, Punjab Kings have been a bogey team for the Bengaluru-based franchise. Punjab Kings could once again topple Royal Challengers Bengaluru courtesy of their superior bowling.
