Royal Challengers Bangalore and Punjab Kings will play against each other in the 48th match of IPL 2021 at Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Sharjah. We will cover BLR vs PBKS Dream11 Prediction, Probable Playing 11, and Fantasy Cricket Tips of IPL 2021.
Royal Challengers Bangalore:
Royal Challengers Banglore have won two consecutive matches and are currently at the 3rd position on the IPL 2021 points table with 14 points.
Virat Kohli is batting well but needs to focus on his strike rate, and Padikkal needs to be more consistent with his performance. The No.3 position for BLR looks sorted as Bharat has been batting brilliantly, and Maxwell has scored two fifties in the last two matches.
The bowling unit has shown tremendous transformation in recent matches. Harshal Patel and Yuzevndar Chahal have been doing most of the job. The remaining bowlers have supported them well by not conceding runs.
RCB might qualify for the playoffs if they win this match.
Punjab Kings:
Punjab Kings moved to 5th position after winning the last match and they have a total of 10 points to their name.
Rahul has been the backbone of the team and scored a fifty in the last match and took the team to victory and on the other hand, Mayank has been batting aggressively and reducing pressure on KL Rahul. Nicholas Pooran couldn’t perform even when he batted at a new position, but Markram has batted well. Shahrukh Khan can become a good finisher.
The bowlers have done a decent job so far this season. Since the beginning of the season, Shami and Arshdeep have been the crucial wicket-takers, and recently Ravi Bishnoi has been added to that list. Nathan Ellis struggled to pick up wickets and has been slightly expensive.
Punjab Kings have the chance to qualify for playoffs if they win the remaining matches.
