PBKS Team News & Playing 11

KXIP Team News

Karun Nair replaced injured Mayank Agarwal last time out, while Hardus Viljoen was restored to the starting line-up in place of Mujeeb Ur Rahman. That fourth overseas slot, in the bowling attack, appears to still be up for grabs with neither Mujeeb nor Andrew Tye able to command a regular starting spot. 

KXIP Key Players

KL Rahul has been in superb form in IPL 2019, passing 50 on four occasions – one of which was his unbeaten 100 last time out. Rahul has 317 runs in seven matches so far, at an average of 79.25 and with a strike rate of 131.53. He has scored 71*, 15, 55, 71* and 100* in his last five innings.

Chris Gayle is next in Kings XI Punjab’s scoring charts with 223 so far, including two half-centuries – the most recent being his 63 from 36 balls last time out, in which he hit seven sixes.

Mohammed Shami took 3-21 last time out, meanwhile. It took him to nine wickets in seven matches so far – one more than Ravichandran Ashwin. The Kings XI captain has a better economy rate too, of 7.64 runs per over.

Sam Curran has seven from five matches, meanwhile – four of which came in his stunning, match-winning spell against Delhi Capitals.

KXIP Team Form

Kings XI Punjab suffered their third defeat in seven games last time out, despite Lokesh Rahul’s unbeaten century from 64 balls against Mumbai Indians. They posted 197/4 and Mohammed Shami took 3-21 in reply but Mumbai won by three wickets off the final ball.

It means Kings XI could not back up their win against Sunrisers Hyderabad, when Rahul hit an unbeaten 71 as they chased 151 to win by six wickets with one ball to spare.

RCB Team News & Playing 11

RCB Team News

Royal Challengers Bangalore stuck with the same XI last time out but could not reverse their fortunes as they crashed to yet another defeat. Tim Southee conceded five boundaries from just 12 balls and his place may be in danger again, particularly with Nathan Coulter-Nile belatedly due to link up with the squad. Whether the Australian steps straight into the starting XI remains to be seen, however.  

RCB Key Players

Virat Kohli has, unsurprisingly, been Royal Challengers’ stand-out batsman so far. The India captain has top-scored for Bangalore in each of the last two matches to move to 203 runs from six innings. He is 30 runs ahead of AB de Villiers, who has hit two half-centuries on his way to 173 runs so far.

Parthiv Patel has 172 runs, meanwhile, and has also been RCB’s top batsman on two occasions. RCB need runs from Moeen Ali and Marcus Stoinis now too – when the top four of Patel, Kohli, De Villiers and Stoinis all fired against Kolkata, they posted 205/3.

Yuzvendra Chahal has taken nine wickets with the ball so far, and boasts a good economy rate of 6.87 runs per over too. Now he needs some of his team-mates to back him up – Umesh Yadav took three wickets in each of the two games against Kings XI Punjab last season and could be one option.

RCB Team Form

Royal Challengers Bangalore have lost all six matches they have played so far. There were signs of recovery when they faced Kolkata in their fifth game – Virat Kohli (84) and AB de Villiers (63) leading Bangalore to 205/3. They fell victim to an Andre Russell masterclass, however, losing by five wickets.

They only posted 149/8 against Delhi Capitals last time out, however – Kohli again top-scoring, with 41 this time – and Bangalore fell to a four-wicket defeat. 

RCB Predicted Playing 11

Virat Kohli, Parthiv Patel, AB de Villiers, Moeen Ali, Marcus Stoinis, Akshdeep Nath, Navdeep Saini, Washington Sundar, Umesh Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Nathan Coulter-Nile

PBKS vs RCB Head to Head

­KXIP vs RCB Head to Head

Royal Challengers Bangalore won both games against Kings XI Punjab last season to move to ten wins in this fixture, but the Kings XI still lead the head-to-head with 12 wins in 22 games. Kings XI were bowled out on both occasions last year – Umesh Yadav taking 3-23 as they were dismissed for 155 on the first occasion, before AB de Villiers’ half-century helped RCB to a four-wicket win. Yadav took 3-23 again in the second meeting, as Kings XI collapsed to 88 all out, before Bangalore sealed a comfortable ten-wicket win in just 8.1 overs.

­KXIP vs RCB Betting Odds

Despite Royal Challengers Bangalore’s poor form, some bookmakers – including Bet365 – are split on these two teams. That means you can still get a generous best price on a Kings XI Punjab win.

KXIP Betway Odds

  • KXIP to Win the Match: Kings XI Punjab are narrow favourites to beat Royal Challengers Bangalore with Betway, at 1.83.
  • KL Rahul to hit 3+ sixes: KL Rahul is 3.50 to hit three or more sixes with #betyourway
  • KXIP Top Batsmen: Rahul is 3.00 to be Kings XI’s top batsman, while Gayle is 3.25
  • KXIP Top Bowler: With the ball, Hardus Viljoen returned last time out and he is 3.75 to be their top bowler. Mohammed Shami and Ravichandran Ashwin are both a generous 4.00.

RCB Betway Odds

  • RCB to Win the Match: Royal Challengers Bangalore are narrow outsiders at 1.90 to win with Betway.
  • RCB Top Batsman: Virat Kohli is 2.62 to be their top batsman for a third consecutive game, while AB de Villiers is 3.00 and Parthiv Patel is 6.00.
  • RCB Top Bowler: Yuzvendra Chahal is 2.62 to be their top bowler with Betway, while Nathan Coulter-Nile is 3.75 and Umesh Yadav is 4.75.

KXIP Bet365 Odds

  • KXIP to Win the Match: Kings XI Punjab are 1.90 to beat Royal Challengers Bangalore with Bet365.
  • KXIP Top Batsman: KL Rahul is 3.60 favourite to be their top batsman, meanwhile, as he looks to continue his outstanding form. Chris Gayle is 3.75
  • KXIP Highest Opening Partnership: Kings XI Punjab are 1.90 to post the highest opening partnership
  • KL Rahul to Score over 24.5 Runs: Rahul should also be backed at 1.83 to score over 24.5 runs.

RCB Bet365 Odds

  • RCB to Win the Match: Royal Challengers Bangalore are 1.90 to beat Kings XI Punjab with Bet365, with the bookmaker split on both teams.
  • RCB Top Batsman: After top-scoring for Bangalore in each of their last two matches, Virat Kohli is 2.87 to be their top batsman again. AB de Villiers and Parthiv Patel are also worth backing, however, at 4.00 and 5.00 respectively.
  • RCB Top Bowler: With the ball, Yuzvendra Chahal is 3.00 to be their top bowler. If he plays, Nathan Coulter-Nile is 4.50 while Umesh Yadav – who bowled well in both games against Kings XI last season – is 5.00.

KXIP Betrally Odds

  • KXIP to Win the Match: Like Bet365, Betrally are split on these teams. Kings XI Punjab are 1.86 to beat Royal Challengers Bangalore.
  • KXIP Top Batsman: In-form Lokesh Rahul will be central to that and he is 3.45 to be their top batsman, while Chris Gayle is 3.70.
  • KXIP Top Bowler: On the bowling front, both Mohammed Shami and Ravichandran Ashwin are 3.95 to be Kings XI’s top bowler, while Hardus Vijoen and Sam Curran are both 4.45.

RCB Betrally Odds

  • RCB to Win the Match: Royal Challengers Bangalore are also 1.86 to win with Betrally.
  • RCB Top Batsman: Virat Kohli is their in-form batsman and he is 2.85 to be Bangalore’s top batsman once again. AB de Villiers is 3.95 while Parthiv Patel is 4.95.
  • RCB Top Bowler: Yuzvendra Chahal has carried the bowling attack and he is 2.95 to be their top bowler again. Nathan Coulter-Nile is 4.45 and Umesh Yadav is 4.95.

­KXIP vs RCB Prediction

Kings XI Punjab are favourites to beat Royal Challengers Bangalore, even if some bookmakers are split on it. Bangalore have lost six in a row and, while their top-order suggests that losing streak will have to end some time, Kings XI are playing well enough – despite defeat last time out – to win this game, however.
