PBKS win by 34 runs

A game to remember for young Harpreet Brar. To get Kohli, Maxwell and AB in an IPL would be good, to get them in one four-over spell is the stuff of dreams. RCB never got going in the chase and it's another left-arm spinner that has done for them this season. Back to the drawing board for them before they face KKR. An important win for Punjab Kings, their third of the season. They'll hope to build on this!






if he had got it? Can it get any better if the victims happen to be @imVkohli @Gmaxi_32 and @ABdeVilliers17 and that too in ? 2021





No Gayle opening then.Rahul and Prabhsimran are opening for Punjab Kings. Daniel Sams will open for RCB.

Playing XIs:

Royal Challengers Bangalore: Virat Kohli(c), Devdutt Padikkal, Rajat Patidar, Glenn Maxwell, AB de Villiers(w), Shahbaz Ahmed, Daniel Sams, Kyle Jamieson, Harshal Patel, Mohammed Siraj, Yuzvendra Chahal

With no Mayank, should PBKS open with Gayle and Rahul? Write in @kritzika

TOSS TIME! RCB opt to bowl.Just one change for RCB - Shahbaz Ahmed in for Washington Sundar.

For Punjab, three changes: Moises, Arshdeep & Mayank OUT!Prabhsimran, Riley Meredith, Harpreet Brar IN. Mayank hurt himself, FYI.

Here's what the pitch reportsays: It was the same surface that was used last night for the DC vs KKR game. "It has got some nice grass coverage and the new ball comes on nicely. The track is brown, and you got to make the most of the new ball."

Punjab are looking to jump back to winning ways, but they are up against a rampant RCB! Hello, and welcome to Match #26 of the IPL 2021.

Remember KL Rahul's scintillating knock of 132 the last time these teams met in Dubai? Rahul was at his very best as he blew RCB away single-handedly. He did it twice in 2020 - can he once again? Punjab have been inconsistent to say the least. It's just not coming together for them. Just yet. Can they turn it around today?

RCB have been clinical this time around, with nothing stopping them, with both, batting and bowling coming together this time around. Maxwell has been a revelation at RCB, not just playing to his potential, giving their middle order stability that they've lacked taking away pressure off of ABD.
