Punjab Kings Form
After winning two matches on the bounce, the Punjab Kings lost to the Chennai Super Kings by 28 runs.
The Super Kings scored 167/9 off their 20 overs, Rahul Chahar (3/23, econ 5.75) and Harshal Patel (3/24, econ 6.00) both turning in a brilliant performance with the ball.
The Punjab Kings lost two early wickets before Prabhsimran Singh (30) and Shashank Singh (27) stabilised the innings, but no-one else could reach 20 and they ended on 139/9 off their 20 overs.
Punjab Kings Team News
Punjab Kings need their batters to bat with greater consistency to backup their bowlers’ efforts to pick up more wins.
Royal Challengers Bangalore Form
After beating the Sunrisers, the Royal Challengers beat the Gujarat Titans twice in seven days to put themselves in a position to be able to fight for a place in the playoffs.
Mohammed Siraj (2/29, econ 7.25), Yash Dayal (2/21, econ 5.25) and Vijaykumar Vyshak (2/23, econ 6.57) bowled superbly to bowl the Titans out in the final over for 147.
Virat Kohli (42 off 27 balls, with four sixes) and Faf du Plessis (64 off 23 balls, three sixes) added 92 runs for the first wicket before a middle-order collapse. Dinesh Karthik (21 off 12 balls) then steered his side to a four-wicket win off 13.4 overs.
Royal Challengers Bangalore Team News
Royal Challengers Bangalore are in good form and are unlikely to make any changes to their team.
Verdict
I am backing Royal Challengers Bangalore to win. I am also backing Virat Kohli to top score for Royal Challengers Bangalore.
Jonny Bairstow is a good bet to top score for the Punjab Kings.
