Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will be taking on Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the 6th match of the Indian Premier League 2024. In the 17th edition of the league, the three-time runner-ups will be up against a team that is looking for a change in fortunes in the league. While RCB have been able to perform well in the last four seasons, it has been a while since PBKS last qualified for the playoffs of a season.

2014 was undoubtedly the best season of PBKS in the league. It was the last instance of them qualifying for the playoffs of a season. In 2024, they would be hoping to improve their record and hopefully win the trophy for the first time. They had a good start to the season by beating DC by six wickets. In their second match, PBKS will be facing RCB in their own backyard. The match is set to take place on March 25 at M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.

RCB did not have a great start to the season in the IPL 2024. They lost to CSK in their fortress by six wickets. The game against PBKS would be important for them as it will be the first home game for the 2016 runner-ups. Both the teams have some of the best players in the world, like Virat Kohli, Glenn Maxwell, Faf Du Plessis, Cameron Green, Mohammad Siraj, Shikhar Dhawan, Sam Curran, Arshdeep Singh, Kagiso Rabada, and so on.

Pitch Report

The match is set to take place at M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. The wicket has the reputation of being one of the flattest, with little to no assistance for the bowlers whatsoever. The boundaries are short as well, and it is heaven for the batters. Bowlers have a difficult time containing runs in the middle. There will also be a dew factor, which means that the team winning the toss might look to bowl, as the wicket is likely to get better with the progression of the game.

Player Picks

9
C

Virat Kohli RCB | BAT

The man needs no introduction. He is one of the best players in the world. The star batter did not have a good time in the middle against CSK, returning to action after a few months. Given the home conditions, Virat can fire with the bat.

7.5
C

Cameron Green RCB | ALL

Cameron Green is a good All-Rounder. The youngster can contribuite both with the bat and with the ball. The star player bowled well in Chennai with his bouncers. Given the match is at home, Green can be expected to step up with the bat.

9
C

Faf du Plessis RCB | BAT

Faf Du Plessis gave a blazing start to RCB in the game against CSK. While the visiting side could not win the match, Faf was impressive. Since 2023, he has been incredible at the top, which is likely to continue in the IPL 2024.

9

Glenn Maxwell RCB | ALL

Glenn Maxwell was dismissed for a golden duck in the game against CSK. The star batter would be loving to make a comeback at home where the fans would be cheering him to score runs. If required, the experienced player can step up with the ball too.

9

Shikhar Dhawan PBKS | BAT

Shikar Dhawan is one such batter who has been consistent as a batter almost every season. The experienced batter looks to be the same in the ongoing season too. Given the nature of the wicket, one can expect him to be aggressive as well.

8

Shashank Singh PBKS | ALL

Shashank Singh did not get an opportunity to bat in the first game against DC. However, he claimed a brilliant catch to get rid of Tristan Stubbs. Come the game against RCB, he could be required as a batter lower down the order.

8.5

Mayank Dagar RCB | BOWL

Mayank Dagar was brilliant in the game against CSK. He was economical in the spell of two overs and was unfortunate to not bowl out. It would be interesting to see how the left-arm orthodox spinner would perform in Bengaluru.

7.5

Alzarri Joseph

RCB | BOWL

Alzarri Joseph is a one-dimensional bowler. Barring the extreme pace, which is his skill, he does have the control over his skills. The West Indian pacer can go for runs at M Chinnaswamy stadium which is a nightmare for the bowlers.

6.5

Karn Sharma

RCB | BOWL

Karn Sharma is woefully out of form in the last few seasons. The leg-spinner had a bad game against CSK and did not bowl well even on a spin friendly wicket. At Bengaluru, it is very risky to consider him in the team.
