They roped in three experienced bowlers all of whom have high economy rates in domestic T20 leagues. Joseph who played the match against CSK gave runs at an economy of 10.40.

Punjab Kings, on the other hand, won their IPL 2024 campaign opener against Delhi Capitals where they chased their own 175 to win in Mullanpur. They displayed good potential with the bat and ball. It was in the end a comfortable win for Punjab Kings who will come into this game with confidence. They defeated the Capitals by four wickets in the end.

Talking about head to head both teams have played 31 games with PBKS winning 17 games and RCB 14. Bangalore won the previous game but Punjab has won three out of the last five games.
