A couple of days ago, both teams locked horns against each other at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. PBKS won that game by 5 wickets and will be fancying their chances once again. In a game that was reduced to 14 overs per side due to rain, PBKS pretty much outplayed RCB.
Batting first, RCB were reeling at 42/7 before an unbeaten fifty from Tim David guided them to a respectable 95/5. In reply, PBKS chased down the total inside 13 overs by losing five wickets.
With five wins from seven games, PBKS are currently in the third spot in the points table. A win against RCB will take them to the top of the points table. RCB, on the other hand, are at the fifth spot with four wins from seven games. They will be desperate to bounce back and return to winning ways with a crucial win.
