THE LOWDOWN
PUNJAB KINGS
- Punjab Kings’ victory in a closely fought contest with Lucknow Super Giants took them to six points and a positive win-loss record over the course of the season thus far.
- Zimbabwean overseas player Sikandar Raza struck an excellent 57 as the Kings continue to cope admirably without Liam Livingstone, whilst Sam Curran showed his class, picking up three wickets with the ball.
ROYAL CHALLENGERS BANGALORE
- Royal Challengers Bangalore were denied a successful record IPL run chase against Chennai Super Kings last time out, RCB falling eight runs short of CSK’s 226/6 batting first at the Chinnaswamy.
- Glenn Maxwell’s violent 76 from just 36 balls included a whopping eight 6s and gave RCB a chance of chasing such a large total, but ultimately it came in a losing cause.
THE PREDICTION
Both these teams have strayed on the side of inconsistency across the tournament, making it difficult to predict which way this one will go. Punjab Kings though, are yet to accrue a score of 200 or more this season, whilst RCB have passed that mark twice already. That extra batting firepower should come in handy against the Kings and makes backing Royal Challengers Bangalore for victory in Mohali worthwhile.
