RCB Team News & Playing 11

RCB Team News

The game against Kings XI Punjab will be Moeen Ali's last in this year's IPL as the England all-rounder will be heading back home to prepare for the forthcoming World Cup. AB de Villiers was rested for the game against Kolkata Knight Riders after he suffered mild concussion upon being hit on the helmet in the nets. The South African star batsman is now fully fit and returned in the last game against Chennai Super Kings, replacing fellow compatriot Heinrich Klaasen in the playing eleven. Mohammed Siraj was also dropped last time and was replaced by Umesh Yadav. Royal Challengers Bangalore may not want to tinker with their line-up after their win over table-toppers CSK.

RCB Key Players

Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers are the big guns in RCB's batting line-up and the hosts will want both these batsmen to fire on Wednesday night. Kohli is the team's leading run-scorer in IPL 2019 and he recently cracked a ton against the Kolkata Knight Riders. de Villiers has a couple of half-centuries in his previous three innings, including the unbeaten 59 in the reverse encounter against Kings XI Punjab at Mohali. Parthiv Patel is coming off a 37-ball 53 against Chennai Super Kings. Moeen Ali too has shown good batting form and he can offer four quality overs of spin as well. Dale Steyn and Yuzvendra Chahal, however, are the bigger threats in this bowling attack. Steyn has already taken four wickets in the two matches he has played and he is RCB's key man with the new ball. Chahal is one of the tournament's best bowlers with 14 wickets at an economy of 7.53 and he will look to put pressure on KXIP in the middle overs.

RCB Recent Form

Royal Challengers Bangalore have not been able to get themselves off the bottom of the points table since the beginning of the tournament. However, they are not out of it yet and could still be in with a chance of making it to the top four if they win all their remaining four fixtures. RCB have now won three of their last four games including the most recently played two. After beating Kings XI Punjab, they went down to Mumbai Indians before securing back-to-back wins against Kolkata Knight Riders and Chennai Super Kings respectively.

PBKS Team News & Playing 11

KXIP Team News

Kings XI Punjab made three changes to their side for the previous match against Delhi Capitals - they brought Sam Curran, Hardus Viljoen and Harpreet Brar in place of Nicholas Pooran, Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Arshdeep Singh respectively. Mujeeb had sustained a shoulder injury while fielding in last week's encounter against Rajasthan Royals and that kept him out of action in the last game. KXIP will probably bring him back if he recovers in time for this game. Moises Henriques is currently nursing his ankle injury and he too is doubtful for this game.

KXIP Key Players

Chris Gayle has been on fire this IPL season and he is the key man for Kings XI Punjab when it comes to batting. The West Indian opener has scores of 63, 99* (versus RCB), 30 and 69 in the last four games and looks well set for another big knock. His partner KL Rahul too has been in fine touch with an aggregate of 399 runs which includes a century and four half-centuries. David Miller and Mayank Agarwal are powerful strikers of the ball and can add some quick runs. Mohammed Shami and Ravichandran Ashwin have been the most consistent performers with the ball for KXIP and it will be mainly up to these two to take wickets and keep RCB's scoring-rate in check. While Shami has picked 13 wickets in the tournament at an economy of 8.70, Ashwin has 11 at 7.53. Sam Curran is another one to watch out for. The English all-rounder can strike with the ball at crucial moments and can make sizeable contributions with the bat as well.

KXIP Recent Form

Kings XI Punjab have won five and lost as many matches out of the ten they have played so far in this year's Indian Premier League and currently find themselves fifth on the leaderboard with ten points. The five-wicket loss to Delhi Capitals last time was their third defeat in their last four games. KXIP have been very impressive with the bat, scoring over 160 in each of their last four matches. They would, however, want to work on their bowling a bit more as the tournament nears its business end.

Lokesh Rahul (wk), Chris Gayle, Mayank Agarwal, David Miller, Mandeep Singh, Sam Curran, Ravichandran Ashwin (c), Harpreet Brar, Hardus Viljoen/Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Murugan Ashwin, Mohammed Shami

RCB vs PBKS Head to Head

­RCB vs KXIP Head to Head

Royal Challengers Bangalore have won 11 while Kings XI Punjab have won 12 out of the 23 matches that have been played between these two teams in the Indian Premier League.

Royal Challengers Bangalore have beaten Kings XI Punjab in each of their last three attempts. They won both their matches against them in the previous season.

Royal Challengers Bangalore registered a convincing eight-wicket victory when they faced Kings XI Punjab a few days ago at Mohali in their first clash of the season. KXIP scored a challenging 173/4 after being put into bat first, but they could not defend that total as RCB rode on twin half-centuries from Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers to seal the game with four balls to spare.

Matches Played: 23; Royal Challengers Bangalore Won: 11; Kings XI Punjab Won: 12

­RCB vs KXIP Prediction

This is going to be a contest between two teams who will be playing under plenty of pressure. While Kings XI Punjab have lost three of their last four matches, Royal Challengers Bangalore cannot afford any more slip-ups. The latter have the benefit of playing at home but they have been beaten thrice in their four matches here this season. However, they have won three of their last four encounters against KXIP at this ground and that should definitely boost their confidence. Kings XI will be desperate for a win but we feel that the Royal Challengers, who have gained momentum with back-to-back wins, have a better chance of emerging victorious here.
