IPL 2024 RCB vs PBKS playing xi

Royal Challengers Bangalore is going to face off against Punjab Kings in a do-or-die match. Both the teams are placed at 7th and 8th places respectively and losing here means the team is going to be eliminated from the race playoffs. So, in one sense, it is a do-or-die match for them.

In an all-important match, Punjab Kings have surprisingly brought in an extra batsman while RCB brought in an overseas seamer. Punjab Kings have won the toss and elected to bowl first at Dharamshala where the average first-innings score is around 195.
