Mumbai: Today’s the second match between Punjab Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore (Punjab Kings vs Royal Challengers Bangalore) in the IPL (2022). The match will be played at 7.30 pm Indian time at DY Patil Stadium, Navi Mumbai. Before the Faf du Plessis vs Mayank Agarwal match, check out the Punjab-Bangalore vs (PBKS vs RCB) match.
Punjab Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore have met in 28 matches in the IPL so far. Punjab has a slight advantage. Punjab won 15 matches and RCB 13 matches. Punjab have won three of their last five matches. Both teams had one win each last season. But with the megastar auction over, it remains to be seen how the teams will fare on the field.
Royal Challengers Bangalore and Punjab Kings are dreaming of their first title. This time, both the teams will try their luck under the new captains. Bangalore found the new captain in Faf Duplessis when Virat Kohli was reduced to bat. Duplessis, one of the rare players that Kohli respects, will not be challenged to lead the team. Punjab will be led by Mayank Agarwal.
Bangalore’s Glenn Maxwell, Josh Hazlewood, Punjab’s Johnny Bairstow and Kagiso Rabada will not be in the squad today. With the exception of Faf Duplessis, Virat Kohli, Dinesh Karthik, Herschelle Patel and Mohammad Siraj, Bangalore’s batting and bowling prowess should be looked at.
Along with skipper Mayank, Punjab’s hopes are on Shikhar Dhawan, Liam Livingston, Shah Rukh Khan and Odin Smith. Sandeep Singh, Arshdeep Singh and Rahul Chahar will be crucial when it comes to bowling. Sandeep Sharma is the bowler who has dismissed Kohli the most number of times in the IPL, seven times. Duplessis has a batting average of 61 against Punjab. The second-ranked team has won 10 of the last 17 IPL matches at DY Patil Stadium.
