IPL 2020 Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Kings XI Punjab fantasy 11 prediction: Top Dream11 picks for RCB VS KXIP

The sixth match of IPL 2020 will be played between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Kings Eleven Punjab at Dubai International Stadium on Thursday. Both teams have played one match apiece in the tournament so far. Virat Kohli and boys have made a wonderful start, having won their first game against Sunrisers Hyderabad by 10 runs. KXIP too showed resistance in the first game but unfortunately lost in the super over.

Royal Challengers Bangalore:

Things have started well for Virat Kohli and Co. in IPL 2020. They would be keen to win two games in a row to have a strong start in the tournament. The franchise would know the importance of this game. A win against KIXP on Thursday can boost their confidence as a side.

The batting line-up fared well, however, the bowling still a vast scope of improvement. Navdeep Saini and Yuvzendra Chahal were their star performers in the last match. These two are expected to come good against KXIP as well and thus should be must-haves in your fantasy XI.

Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers should also make into the eleven. Opener Devdutt Padikkal impressed one and all with his sumptuous stroke play in his debut game in SRH. If he keeps striking the same way, he could be a breakthrough star for RCB this year.

Kings Eleven Punjab:

Skipper, KL Rahul looked in fine touch before he got out to a peach of a delivery from Mohit Sharma. The team would want him to play a big inning tomorrow. Mayank Agarwal played, arguably, his best knock of his career in the last game against Delhi Capitals. The innings would have given him a lot of confidence.

Overseas players such as Glenn Maxwell and Nicholas Pooran both went out cheaply in the first game. Leaving out any one of your dream11 team could be a risky affair. A lot of responsibility would be on both of them to help KKR to score runs at a good rate in the middle overs.

Mohammad Shami has delivered the best bowling performance against Delhi Capitals in the tournament so far. He took 3 for wickets for just 15 runs in 4 overs. Expect the Indian seamer to delivery another great spell against a star-studded RCB line up. Besides, Sheldon Cottrell and spinner Ravi Bishnoi turned up with good numbers in the last game.
