Match Preview

The 2024 season of the Indian Premier League is approaching its knockout stage, and in the 58th game of the Indian Premier League, Punjab Kings will host Royal Challengers Bengaluru. The game is set to be played at the HPCA Stadium, Dharamsala, on May 9, Thursday. The Faf du Plessis-led side will take on Punjab on the back of two successive wins over Gujarat Titans. On the other hand, Punjab would aim to turn around their result after their recent clash against Chennai Super Kings. This will be the second time Punjab and Bengaluru will clash against each other in the current season of the cash-rich league. 

Toss Prediction

Punjab Kings and Royal Challengers Bengaluru have already played a game in the ongoing season of the tournament. The game, at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, saw home skipper Fad du Plessis winning the toss over Punjab’s skipper Shikhar Dhawan. Considering this, we think home skipper, Dhawan or stand-in captain Sam Curran, would win the toss to equal the toss tally 1-1 against Du Plessis. 

Win Possibility

As mentioned, the Thursday game would be the second occasion RCB and PBKS will be up against each other in the 17th IPL. The previous game they played on March 25, saw RCB registering their first win of the season. After that game, the Bengaluru-based franchise saw a major slump in their form and lost six back-to-back matches. However, the Virat Kohli-starring team made a remarkable comeback and won three consecutive games. 

RCB and PBKS have played a total of 32 games, and the records have the latter leading the tally 17-15. However, Faf and Co. are in their best form, and riding high on confidence. They would aim to continue their win run over PBKS in the ongoing season, and hence, they are more likely to win the upcoming game. 

Predicted Powerplay Score and Average First Inning Score

The Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium of Dharamsala is all set to host the second match of the season. The picturesque cricketing venue in Himachal serves as the second home ground to the Punjab Kings. The cricket ground has hosted a total of 12 IPL matches and has a first-inning score of 180 runs. Considering this, we can expect the first-inning score of the upcoming game to hover around 180-190, and the powerplay score to be 55-60.
