Let’s look at our fantasy 11 predictions for this clash and here are the top picks for PBKS vs RCB.

Team Preview – Punjab Kings

Punjab Kings are currently struggling at the sixth spot in the Points Table with merely two wins in six matches. Moreover, PBKS suffered a one-sided defeat against Kolkata Knight Riders. The Punjab-based franchise’s batting has miserably suffered this season as they have failed to post big runs on the board for their bowlers to defend. Number 1 T20I player Dawid Malan is expected to make his IPL debut in place of out-of-form Nicholas Pooran. On the other hand, Jhye Richardson might come back too for Moises Henriques.

Team Preview – Royal Challengers Bangalore

RCB IPL 2021 — Royal Challengers Bangalore

Royal Challengers Bangalore have so far looked like one of the best teams of this season. The Virat Kohli-led side has lost just a solitary game after playing six matches in the tournament. RCB are coming to this encounter from a nail-biting victory by one run in their previous clash against Delhi Capitals. They have ticked all the boxes in all three departments and are not expected to make any change in their lineup. As a result, RCB will take the field with the same playing XI.
