Match Preview
The IPL 2024 action has reached its sixth fixture, where fans will see Royal Challengers Bengaluru clashing against Punjab Kings at the former’s home ground. Both teams have played one game each in the IPL 2024. Bengaluru clashed against Chennai in the season opener and lost the game by six wickets and had a disappointing start to the season. Punjab, on the other hand, clashed against Delhi Capitals at their new home. The forthcoming clash will take place on March 25 at 7:30 pm.
Toss Prediction
Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Punjab Kings have faced each other 31 times in the Indian Premier League thus far. In their previous five matches, the RCB skipper won the toss thrice whereas luck backed Punjab skipper only on two occasions. In their last match as well, RCB skipper Faf du Plessis won the toss over CSK captain Ruturaj Gaikwad. Considering this, we can say that luck has been in favour of Faf du Plessis and he is likely to continue his toss-winning run in the next matches as well.
Win Possibility
As mentioned, RCB and PBKS have faced each other in 31 matches in the Indian Premier League, out of those, the former emerged victorious in 14 matches, and Kings won 17 games. Bengaluru finished in sixth position in the last edition whereas Kings finished the season at eighth spot. Both sides displayed decent games in their last fixtures in IPL 2024. The teams have retained their best names and got some of the finest overseas players.
Considering their squads, it is quite unpredictable as the sides are ready to give their best in the upcoming match. However, RCB have the modern-day icon Virat Kohli who is expected to deliver a powerful performance. Apart from that, they will play at their home ground, and hence, we think RCB is likely to emerge victorious in the next match.
Predicted Powerplay Score and Average First Inning Score
The M. Chinnaswamy Stadium will host its first match of the season on March 25, Monday. In the previous seasons of the tournament, the venue hosted a total of 88 games and had the first innings score of 172. For the upcoming match, we can expect the first-inning score to be around 175-185 and the powerplay to be around 45-50.
