Following victories against Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders, Punjab Kings fell short of securing a third consecutive win in their rematch against CSK on Sunday. Despite this setback, Punjab Kings boast players in peak form with both bat and ball, instilling confidence in their ability to triumph over RCB.
Meanwhile, RCB secured another victory on Saturday by defeating the struggling Gujarat Titans, fostering a strong sense of belief within their squad. However, their near lapse from a commanding position in that match serves as a reminder of caution, urging them to avoid providing Punjab Kings with opportunities to stage a comeback in their upcoming encounter.

PBKS vs RCB Toss Prediction:
Out of the 12 IPL matches held at this venue, the team batting first emerged victorious in seven instances. Given CSK’s triumph in the last fixture here after batting first, it’s anticipated that both captains will opt to bat first if they win the toss in this clash at the HPCA Stadium.
PBKS vs RCB Pitch Report:
The average score batting first at the HPCA Stadium stands at 179, with CSK posting 167/9 earlier this month. Anticipating a quicker pitch in this clash, we foresee runs flowing more freely compared to Match 53. Therefore, a par score for the team batting first is expected to surpass 185.
