Preview
The Indian Premier League 2024’s sixth game would pit Punjab Kings against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB vs PBKS). The three-time runners-up in the league will face a squad hoping for a turnaround in their performance in the 17th edition of the competition. It has been a long since PBKS last qualified for the playoffs of a season, despite RCB’s strong performance over the last four seasons.
Without a doubt, PBKS had their greatest league season in 2014. It was their final season of qualifying for the postseason. They will be looking to improve their record and, ideally, take home the trophy for the first time in 2024. They defeated DC by six wickets to get off to a strong start to the season. PBKS will play RCB in their home backyard in their second encounter. The game is scheduled to take place at M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on March 25.
The 2024 Indian Premier League season did not start off well for RCB. They lost by six wickets against CSK in their stronghold. Since it will be the 2016 runners-up’s first home game, the match versus PBKS would be significant for them. Prominent global players such as Virat Kohli, Glenn Maxwell, Faf Du Plessis, Cameron Green, Mohammad Siraj, Shikhar Dhawan, Sam Curran, Arshdeep Singh, Kagiso Rabada, and others are on both teams.
