Virat Kohli’s team would like to get a playoff ticket against Punjab, this will be the way Playing 11

Bangalore vs Punjab: Virat Kohli-led Royal Challengers Bangalore and KL Rahul-led Punjab Kings will face each other at the Sharjah ground on Sunday. This match will be played from 3.30 pm onwards. RCB will look to cement their claim of a place in the playoffs with a win against Punjab in tomorrow’s match.

RCB, who are in search of their first IPL title, are at the third place in the points table with 14 points from 11 matches with seven wins and four losses. With two more points, RCB will ensure their place in the playoffs.

On the other hand, Punjab Kings registered a morale-boosting victory against Kolkata Knight Riders in their last match. Punjab Kings have also kept their hopes of making the playoffs alive with a five-wicket win against KKR. However, the team is at the fifth position in the points table with 10 points from five wins in 12 matches.

However, the road for Punjab team against RCB will not be easy. Captain Virat Kohli is looking in good rhythm. At the same time, his fellow opening batsman Devdutt Padikal is also in a good rhythm. Apart from this, the excellent form of Glenn Maxwell makes the team stronger. Apart from this, RCB has bowlers like Mohammad Siraj, Harshal Patel, Shahbaz Ahmed and Yuzvendra Chahal. Chahal has made a good comeback after recovering from poor form, which has strengthened RCB’s bowling attack.

On the other hand, the Punjab team will once again hope for a good start from the reliable opening pair of captain KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal. Rahul and Agarwal played well against KKR and against RCB, the team will once again expect a good start from the pair. Mohammed Shami and Arshdeep Singh played a key role in Punjab’s win against KKR by bowling brilliantly in the death overs and they will look to replicate the performance against RCB.
