Head-to-Head
The Punjab Kings have won three of the last five matches between the two teams, RCB winning the other two matches, including the most recent meeting at the end of last season.
Royal Challengers Bangalore Form
The Challengers got off to a slow start in their opener against defending champs CSK and suffered a middle-order collapse that left them shy of a competitive score at Chennai.
Faf du Plessis (35 off 23 balls) got the RCB innings off to a flying start before they collapsed to 78/5 in the 12th over. A 95-run partnership between Anuj Rawat (48 off 25 balls) and Dinesh Karthik (38* off 26 balls) lifted their score to a more competitive 173/6.
CSK got off to a lightning start before racing to a four-wicket win with 10 balls to spare. Cameron Green (2/27) produced the best bowling figures for RCB.

RCB need to bat quicker through the middle orders and they also need their bowlers to tighten up through the middle and death overs.
Punjab Kings Form
The Kings met the Delhi Capitals in the second match of the tournament, and it proved an exciting match that went down to the last over.
The Capitals scored 174/9 off their 20 overs, Arshdeep Singh (2/28) and Harshal Patel (2/47) producing the best figures for the Kings.
The Kings started well through Sam Curran (63 off 47 balls), but it was up to Liam Livingstone (38* off 21 balls) to blast his side home four balls and four wickets in hand.
Punjab Kings Team News
The Punjab Kings got off to a great start in their opener against Delhi Capitals, with most of their batters and bowlers contributing to the win.
Verdict
I am backing Royal Challengers Bangalore to win. I am also backing Anuj Rawat to top score for Royal Challengers Bangalore.
Sam Curran is a good bet to top score for the Punjab Kings.
