PBKS vs RCB – IPL 2023, Match 27

PBKS vs RCB Match Preview:

Both Punjab Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore have had a hit-or-miss start to the season, with neither team able to string together a series of victories. This will be a crucial match for both teams in their pursuit of the top four.

PBKS Preview:

• Punjab Kings rely on a few players who consistently contribute to their success. Shikhar Dhawan, their captain, is in excellent form and is firmly in contention for the Orange Cap. Their bowlers, including as Sam Curran and Nathan Ellis, have also made significant contributions, and they will be pleased when Liam Livingstone returns to the team.

RCB Preview:

• Royal Challengers Bangalore’s efforts have been led mostly by openers Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli. They have missed a few important occasions, including a last-ball loss against the Lucknow Super Giants in which Harshal Patel failed to run out the non-striker. They would expect a more inclusive performance from the entire squad.

PBKS vs RCB : Pitch Report:

The bounce and pace of the Mohali pitch suit both hitters and bowlers, and the ball comes good in the bat while the bowlers like the bounce. The matchups this year were not high-scoring, but they will be challenging.

PBKS vs RCB : Weather Report:

The temperature is forecast to be hot, around 32 degrees, especially considering this is a day game, although dew will not be a concern in the second innings.

PBKS vs RCB CricAdvisor Predictions:

Punjab Kings are in serious need of a middle-order return. While Dhawan may lead them to victory with a captain’s knock, his opening partner is out of form, and the middle order has been quiet. This puts them at a disadvantage against a side like RCB, which boasts the strongest T20 talent in their top order. Punjab’s best bet is its bowling attack. Overall, RCB has the upper hand in this match with an all-round squad that includes a number of impact players, and they will begin as favorites in our match prediction.
