Coming on the back of two consecutive wins, Royal Challenger Bangalore will take on Kings XI Punjab, who have had a terrible season, in a bid to extend their good run. While RCB will want their skipper to lead them from the front, KXIP will hope their batting and bowling finally click together.

KXIP Top Batter - KL Rahul - @3.3

KL Rahul in IPL -  74, 11, 63,17, 69

Despite the terrible season that Punjab-based franchise is enduring in IPL 2020, Orange Cap holder KL Rahul doesn’t seem to stop scoring runs, having already scored 387 runs in 7 matches. He has got great support from Mayank Agarwal, who is just below Rahul on the top-scorers list and is a strong contender to be the best batsman for KXIP.

So far, he has been the go-to bowler for Rahul, who doesn’t have many options in the bowling department.  In recent matches, Shami has been on the expensive side - partly due to the fact that his team has not done well. However, with the rhythm he has and the amount of confidence he has shown in his bowling,

Kings XI Punjab innings runs - 182.5 - @`1.89

KXIP in IPL - 162, 132, 178, 143, 223

Only once in their last five matches, they have been able to cross the score of 182, which was on the cement wicket of Sharjah against Rajasthan. However, things have drastically changed at the venue as the pitch has slowed down considerably, making it difficult for the batsmen to score freely. Hence, previously, where it was estimated that 400 runs would be a regular affair at Sharjah, it will now be difficult to score big runs there. Given that the bowling form of RCB bowlers has been pretty good in the recent past,
