Punjab Kings vs Royal Challengers Bangalore Team Preview

Punjab Kings

Punjab Kings managed to win an important game albeit without their skipper. They will enter this home match with a lot of confidence after that triumph.

Shikhar Dhawan, the captain, was unable to participate in the victory over the Lucknow Super Giants, but he is anticipated to play in this match. Punjab Kings fans are still expecting to see Liam Livingstone play this season, but the player is unsure after injuring a muscle during training last week.

Royal Challengers Bangalore

Although Royal Challengers Bangalore hasn’t been playing poorly, they have had trouble in recent games crossing the finish line. Yet they should have enough talent to win this game.

Before Monday’s home loss to Chennai Super Kings, Royal Challengers Bangalore made no roster changes, therefore David Willey remained on the bench of replacements. Faf du Plessis, the captain, is questionable for this matchup after suffering an injury on the field in that game.

  Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium Mohali

We forecast that both teams will prefer to field first in this match because only 37.3% of teams in T20 games at this location win after batting first.

On the day of the game, Mohali will have sporadic thunderstorms and a high of 27 degrees Celsius. 

Even if the pitch at this Mohali venue isn’t as quick as it once was, batters can still get a lot of assistance from it.
