RCB vs PBK Play 11: Royal Challenger Bangalore vs Punjab Kings Predict Today’s IPL Match 11

Today’s IPL match promises an exciting showdown as the Royal Challenger Bangalore (RCB) led by Rajat Patidar plays the Punjab King (PBKS) of Shreyas Iyer at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. RCB is currently ranked third in the standings, while PBK is hot on the heels of fourth place.

Punjab will move higher on momentum and eliminate KKR with 16 runs in a tense, low score encounter. However, they are clear that the RCB combines explosive batsmen and diverse bowling options to present a more difficult challenge.

A layer of conspiracy was added to the game, the return of two EX-RCB stars Yuzvendra Chahal and Glenn Maxwell, who were well-known for the dynamics of the Bengaluru Stadium. The duo will undoubtedly notice the recent battles against spins by RCB batsmen, especially against R Sai Kishore, Kuldeep Yadav and Vipraj Nigam.
RCB mentor Dinesh Karthik frankly admitted after defeating the Delhi capital that Chinnaswamy Surface did not fit in its batting friendly reputation. “Strikes have always been a challenge. It wasn’t what we expected,” Karthik said.

Chahal won four games of the match from the KKR and could be key again. Chahal’s ability to be known for his crafty length, rather than the delivery of a big shift, has often led to hitting and deep captures – a strategy that can pay dividends on this surface.

Pitch Report: M. Chinnaswamy Stadium

Traditionally, Chinnaswamy Stadium has provided unexpected help to bowlers this season. Karthik confirmed that despite the request for good batting tracks, these courses are still on the slower side. “We will definitely have a word with the curator, but we believe he can do his job,” he said.

When RCB wants to rebound from back-to-back losses, and PBK’s goal is based on their motivation, everyone’s eyes will focus on the behavior of the court and whether the rotation becomes a game-changer again.
