Punjab Kings vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru – IPL Today's Match Prediction

In this section, we provide our PBKS vs RCB predictions with the aim of helping you bet on the 2024 IPL more confidently.

  • PBKS vs. RCB Win Probability: PBKS (48%), RCB (52%)
  • In the last six games between both teams, PBKS and RCB shared the honours with three wins each.
  • Surprisingly, Glenn Maxwell, a part-time bowler, has been RCB’s most economical bowler so far. This highlights the abysmal state of RCB’s bowling unit.
  • That said, the RCB bowlers showed great character and bowled brilliantly in the previous match against Gujarat. The PBKS batters, on the other hand, have been largely inconsistent.
  • The picturesque HPCA Stadium, Dharamsala, will host this important encounter. With an average 1st innings score of 179 and conditions favouring batting, expect RCB batters to make the most of it.
PBKS vs RCB MATCH PREDICTION

With chances to qualify for the playoffs looking extremely slim for both teams, we at CBA predict RCB to edge past PBKS owing to the better quality of batters in the RCB camp. The RCB’s bowling unit getting fired up at the right moment will also be a huge boost for them.

However, RCB must be cautious of the duo of Harshal Patel and Arshdeep Singh, who have a combined tally of 32 wickets so far.

PUNJAB KINGS PROBABLE XI

Jonny Bairstow, Prabhsimran Singh, Rilee Rossouw, Jitesh Sharma (wk), Shashank Singh, Ashutosh Sharma, Sam Curran (C), Harshal Patel, Harpreet Brar, Kagiso Rabada, Arshdeep Singh, Rahul Chahar (Impact Player)

Royal Challengers Bengaluru

ROYAL CHALLENGERS BENGALURU PROBABLE XI

Faf du Plessis (C), Virat Kohli, Will Jacks, Glenn Maxwell, Cameron Green, Dinesh Karthik (wk), Swapnil Singh, Karn Sharma, Mohammed Siraj, Vyshak Vijay Kumar, Yash Dayal, Rajat Patidar (Impact Player)

Key Players

  • Jonny Bairstow

Predominantly a front-foot player, Bairstow will enjoy the wicket at Dharamshala, where the ball comes nicely onto the bat. That said, he's had a season of extremes so far, having gotten out cheaply on single-digit scores or going on to win games single-handedly. PBKS will be hoping for the latter to come true when he faces RCB's subpar bowling.

  • Harshal Patel

With great performances in recent matches, Harshal Patel has quietly snuck up to 2nd place in the race for the purple cap. He has been the go-to bowler for PBKS at the death, possessing the ability to frustrate batsmen by containing runs and, in the process, taking important wickets. Harshal has taken 17 wickets in 11 matches so far.

  • Shashank Singh

Shashank Singh has been a revelation for PBKS this season. With 315 runs in 11 matches, Shashank has surprised everyone with his ability to score runs at a rapid pace. Expect him to get into attack mode from ball one against RCB in this do-or-die fixture.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru

  • Virat Kohli

King Kohli has successfully managed to keep all the chatter and criticism involving his strike rate at bay with his sheer stroke-making and superlative batting. Apart from being the top run-getter in the IPL so far, Kohli has also improved his strike rate against spinners.

  • Mohammed Siraj

Mohammed Siraj’s performance this season hasn't been up to par. But it seems he has finally gotten his mojo back, putting up a player-of-the-match performance against Gujarat in the previous game. His ability to swing the new ball away and occasionally bring it back in will trouble the PBKS batters at the start of their innings.

  • Will Jacks

His inclusion in the RCB playing XI has infused a fresh lease of life into Bengaluru's campaign this year. Will Jacks is an all-round player who can contribute in all departments, having scored 177 runs in six matches at a blistering strike rate of 186.32. In a way, he has managed to offset the inadequacies of Glenn Maxwell.
