The RCB vs PBKS IPL 2024 match will be played in Bengaluru on Monday, March 25. The match starts at 7.30 pm IST and this is the first home match of Royal Challengers Bengaluru. This is the first of three home matches for the Banglore franchise.
They head into this game after a loss against Chennai Super Kings in their first match of the IPL 2024 season. The Super Kings chased down 173 posted by RCB in their season opener. It was the same old story for the Banglore franchise, which relied heavily on its top order to score runs.
The scoring was pretty good in the middle stage but the Chennai Super Kings were professional throughout their chase. Punjab Kings, on the other hand, got off to a winning start against Delhi Capitals. They defeated the Capitals by four wickets and chased down 175 to win.
PBKS has been the perennial underperformer in the IPL. However, they have lacked consistency over the years and that is something they would like to achieve this season. Players like Arshdeep Singh, Harshal Patel, Harpreet Brar, Rahul Chahar and Kagiso Rabada proved to be a good bowling core in the previous game and they should be consistent as well.
Shikhar Dhawan has been leading the Punjab Kings since the IPL for the last two seasons and has been the leading run-getter. He has almost scored 1000 runs for the franchise, but he needs a senior partner to help him score runs.
The head-to-head matchup is quite even between the two teams. In total 31 matches, Bengaluru won 14 matches while Punjab 17. The two teams played only one match last year and RCB won the match by 24 runs in Mohali. Punjab Kings have won three of the last five matches against RCB.
