IPL 2024: RCB vs PBKS Preview, Probable Playing XI And More

Faf du Plessis and co. will play their first home game of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2024) season after a disappointing outing in Chennai.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) are scheduled to compete in the 6th match of IPL 2024 at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore. RCB, who faced a 6-wicket defeat against CSK in the season opener, are eager to secure a place on the points table. On the other hand, PBKS, coming off a convincing victory against Delhi Capitals, aims to sustain their momentum and solidify their position early in the tournament.

In their previous game, RCB batters struggled to post a competitive total, motivating them to strive for a stronger batting performance. Meanwhile, PBKS displayed a well-rounded performance in all aspects of the game in their last match and are determined to continue their momentum.

Pitch Report

The M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru is renowned for its excellent batting conditions and high-scoring contests, attributed to its short boundaries and rapid outfield. Regardless of batting first or second, no target seems secure on this pitch, as teams frequently triumph from challenging positions. Nevertheless, teams batting first should aim to score well beyond 200 to stay competitive in the match.

RCB Probable Playing XI

Faf du Plessis(c), Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar, Glenn Maxwell, Cameron Green, Dinesh Karthik(w), Anuj Rawat, Karn Sharma, Alzarri Joseph, Mayank Dagar, Mohammed Siraj

PBKS Probable Playing XI

Shikhar Dhawan(c), Jonny Bairstow, Sam Curran, Liam Livingstone, Jitesh Sharma(w), Shashank Singh, Harpreet Brar, Harshal Patel, Kagiso Rabada, Rahul Chahar, Arshdeep Singh
