IPL 2023: Punjab Kings vs Royal Challengers Bangalore – Stats Preview

Punjab Kings will take on Royal Challengers Bangalore in the 27th match of the season at the IS Bindra Stadium, Mohali on Thursday. Both of these two teams have done a good job with the bat and their bowlers will also want to follow suit.

PBKS had missed the services of their skipper Shikhar Dhawan in the previous game against LSG and it will be interesting to note if he will be available for the contest.

Meanwhile, the two matches which have been played at the IS Bindra Stadium have seen two contrasting pitches. The home team scored 191 runs in their opening game against KKR whereas they could only manage 154 runs against GT.

On the other hand, RCB lost their previous game against Chennai Super Kings by eight runs and they will look to get back to winning ways.
