The Punjab Kings (PBKS) are scheduled to face off against the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the 27th match of the Indian Premier League 2023 at the Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali. The toss was somewhat of a surprise as both teams stepped out to the middle with a different skipper leading the charge. While Virat Kohli was set in charge of RCB, Sam Curran was once again back leading PBKS.

In their previous match, RCB faced defeat at the hands of Chennai, falling short of a huge target of 226 by a narrow margin. This setback has pushed them down to the eighth position in the points table, and they will be eager to make a comeback. Virat Kohli failed to get going in the last game and will be looking to remedy that this time around.

Currently occupying the fifth position in the points table, the Kings will aim to continue their good form. Expect an intriguing battle between these two teams.
