Match Preview
Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) will compete against each other in the 6th match of the IPL 2024 on Monday, March 25th, 2024. The match will begin at 7:30 PM IST and be held at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru.
In the opening game, RCB lost quick wickets, including Glenn Maxwell’s golden duck, leaving them at 42/3. Despite Virat Kohli and Cameron Green’s dismissals, RCB scored 173/6. Anuj Rawat scored 48 runs from 25 balls, and Dinesh Karthik remained unbeaten on 38 from 26 balls. RCB did well despite no significant contributions from their top three (Faf du Plessis, Kohli, and Maxwell), but it wasn’t enough against a strong CSK.
Punjab Kings won their last match against Delhi Capitals by 4 wickets. Sam Curran and Liam Livingstone delivered with the bat, scoring 63 and 38 runs, respectively, after Arshdeep Singh and Harshal Patel had taken two wickets each with the ball. But there is still plenty more from Kagiso Rabada and Jonny Bairstow, who could take Punjab Kings up another level or two.
RCB Probable Playing 11: Faf du Plessis (c), Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar, Glenn Maxwell, Cameron Green, Dinesh Karthik, Anuj Rawat (wk), Karn Sharma, Alzarri Joseph, Mayank Dagar, Mohammed Siraj
PBKS Probable Playing 11: Shikhar Dhawan (c), Jonny Bairstow, Sam Curran, Jitesh Sharma (wk), Liam Livingstone, Shashank Singh, Harpreet Brar, Harshal Patel, Kagiso Rabada, Rahul Chahar, Arshdeep Singh
RCB vs PBKS Match Prediction: RCB lost their opener, and the Punjab Kings won theirs. We expect a close match between the two teams. RCB must improve its batting performance, especially its top order of Faf du Plessis, Virat Kohli, and Glenn Maxwell. We predict that RCB will secure its first campaign win in this match.
Dream11 Fantasy Pick - P. Singh (WK), V. Kohli (C), F. d. Plessis, S. Dhawan, J, Bairstow, S. Curran, C. Green, G. Maxwell (VC), A. Singh, K. Rabada, M. Siraj
