Betting Tips
Punjab Kings to win the toss
1.90
Bet on the home team to win the toss again. They have a 50 percent chance of getting this right. If Punjab do win the toss, they will probably choose to bowl first again.
Faf du Plessis to be top batter in the match
3.50
Du Plessis weathered a disappointing start to the 2024 IPL, but has put that behind him with a string of important knocks recently. Look forward to another big performance from the RCB captain.
Mohammed Siraj to be top bowler in the match
3.59
Siraj is among RCB's leading wicket-takers this IPL season and is one of the best left-arm fast bowlers in the tournament. He knows how to succeed in batting-friendly conditions.
Jonny Bairstow to be top Punjab Kings batter
3.50
Bairstow is Punjab's second-highest run-scorer in the 2024 IPL. He has hit a century this IPL season. The England star is primed for more success here.
Arshdeep Singh to be top Punjab Kings bowler
3.40
Singh is an outstanding talent, duly recognised by the Indian selectors with inclusion in the squad for the 2024 T20 World Cup. Anticipate a telling spell from him in this match.
The Punjab Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore will play the 58th match of this year's Indian Premier League. Both teams have only eight points from four wins each this IPL season, but remain in the hunt for berths in the play-off stage of the tournament.

PBKS vs RCB Team Previews
Punjab Kings
Punjab's recent form has not been good. They collected back-to-back wins over the Kolkata Knight Riders and Chennai Super Kings recently, but otherwise have just two wins to show for their last seven matches. If they lose to Bangalore here, the Kings will likely be out of contention for the next stage of the 2024 IPL.
Shashank Singh and Jonny Bairstow have been the most prolific batter for Punjab in this season's IPL. Singh has 315 runs to Bairstow's 257 - and both have been striking at 160-plus per 100 deliveries. Singh and Bairstow, though, have generally lacked enough support with the bat around them.
Harshal Patel has been Punjab's standout bowler this year. The star seamer has 17 wickets in 11 matches in the 2024 IPL. This wasn't enough for him to be named in India's squad for next month's T20 World Cup, though. Fellow Punjab seamer Arshdeep Singh has been picked by India after taking 15 wickets in 11 matches.
Punjab Kings Expected Playing 11
- Sam Curran
- Jonny Bairstow
- Prabhsimran Singh
- Rilee Rossouw
- Liam Livingstone
- Shashank Singh
- Ashutosh Sharma
- Rahul Chahar
- Harshal Patel
- Arshdeep Singh
- Vidwath Kaverappa
Royal Challengers Bangalore
Bangalore had endured six defeats in a row before winning their next three matches against the Gujarat Titans, twice, and Sunrisers Hyderabad. The Royal Challengers have managed to lift themselves from 10th to seventh position on the 10-team points table. Impressive recent form, indeed, but will it last...?
Virat Kohli has characteristically been at the fore of Bangalore's run-scoring success this season. The talismanic right-hander has collected 542 runs in 11 innings at an average of 68. Importantly, Faf du Plessis has found some form. The Bangalore captain's last five innings have included two half-centuries and a couple of other valuable knocks.
Bangalore's bowling resources have been lacking. Unlike Punjab, RCB have just one bowler with 10 or more wickets this IPL. Yash Dayal has bowled with pace and accuracy. Mohammed Siraj and Cameron Green have weighed in with eight and seven wickets, respectively.
Royal Challengers Bangalore Expected Playing 11
- Virat Kohli
- Faf du Plessis
- Will Jacks
- Rajat Patidar
- Mahipal Lomror
- Cameron Green
- Dinesh Karthik
- Swapnil Singh
- Karn Sharma
- Mohammed Siraj
- Lockie Ferguson
PBKS vs RCB Toss Prediction
This will be the second 2024 IPL match at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala. Previously, Punjab won the toss, chose to bowl first and lost the match.
This time, the team to win the toss will likely choose to bowl first as well, regardless. Teams prefer to chase than set targets at this venue.
Pitch and Conditions
Chennai's first-innings total was enough in the previous 2024 IPL fixture at this ground. They beat the Kings by 28 runs.
This is a relatively low-scoring venue compared to others in India. A first-innings score of 160-plus can be considered competitive.
Both teams will probably field two specialist slow bowlers.
Rain is forecast in Dharamsala on matchday. This could suit the team batting second and chasing an adjusted total.
PBKS vs RCB Betting Tips
Punjab have home ground advantage, but Bangalore have plenty of momentum on the back of three consecutive wins recently. RCB's bowlers might not outshine Punjab's, but there batters should.
Bet on 1.70 favourites Royal Challengers Bangalore to beat 2.10 underdogs Punjab Kings.
