Pitch Report

The match is set to take place at Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Cricket Stadium in Dharamshala on the 9th of May 2024 at 7:30 PM (IST). In the previous game at the venue, CSK successfully defended 163 without breaking a sweat. However, that was a day game. In the evening game, the wicket is likely to be better to bat on. Bowlers will still play a crucial role as the pitch has some assistance in it for both pacers and spinners. A total of around 180 would be competitive.

Player Picks

9
C

Virat Kohli RCB | BAT

Virat Kohli has been in brilliant form in the ongoing season. The star batter is currently in the pole position in terms of the leading run scorers and looks to go big every match. Against PBKS, he might perform well given the context of the match.

9
C

Faf du Plessis RCB | BAT

Faf Du Plessis has been in good touch too. The RCB skipper scored a brisk fifty in the last game against GT and took the game away from the visiting side in a matter of few overs. The RCB opener has been on a roll in the last few games and it could not be any different against PBKS.

8.5
C

Harpreet Brar PBKS | BOWL

Harpreet Brar has a good record against RCB. The left-arm orthodox spinner can take wickets of the best batters in the world. He can also come lower down the order and add some runs as a batter. The emerging player would be hoping to give his best for the 2014 runner-ups.

7.5

Will Jacks RCB | BAT

Will Jacks is someone who can the game away from the opponents in a matter of few overs. The aggressive batter can take down the bowlers and demoralize them. Additionally, he can bowl a couple of overs and claim wickets whilst being economical.

6

Prabhsimran Singh PBKS | WK

Prabhsimran Singh has been batting well in the last 4-5 games. The young batter can go bonkers at the top and put pressure on the opponents. If required, he right-handed batter can be useful as a wicketkeeper. He is also a good fielder.

7.5

Dinesh Karthik RCB | WK

Dinesh Karthik can finish the games to perfection. The experienced batter has the tenacity to take down the best bowlers in the world. Even as a wicketkeeper, Karthik has been doing a decent job. Whenever RCB has been in trouble, he has rescued them.

9

Swapnil Singh RCB | ALL

Swapnil Singh has made an impact with his inclusion in the side. The emerging talent is handy as a batter lower down the order and is economical as a bowler. Despite having fewer credits, he can easily fetch a lot of points for a fantasy side.

8.5

Ashutosh Sharma PBKS | BOWL

Ashutosh Sharma is one of the best finishers in the ongoing season. The right-handed batter helped PBKS win several games with his batting. Additionally, in some of the games where PBKS were done and dusted, he played a key role in dragging the game closer.

6.5

Karn Sharma RCB | BOWL

Karn Sharma is in better form in the last few games compared to his poor form in the first few games. The experienced player can come lower down the order and hit some blows as a batter. With his bowling, Sharma can contain runs and take wickets as well.

8

Mahipal Lomror

RCB | ALL

Mahipal Lomror is someone who bats lower down the order. Given the current bowling of RCB, he might not get an opportunity to bowl either. If RCB gets off to a flier, Mahipal might not even get a chance to bat. Hence, it is better to avoid him.

8

Rilee Rossouw

PBKS | BAT

Rilee Rossouw has been woefully out of form this season. In 5 innings, the Southpaw has just 79 runs to his name with a best score of 45. In 4 games, he has had a negative impact on the side. Against RCB, he is very difficult to be trusted given his form.

7

Jitesh Sharma

PBKS | WK

Jitesh Sharma has not had a single good game this season as a batter. The emerging batter was one of the top contenders to be in the Indian squad in the T20 WC squad, but ended up missing the flight due to his poor performance in the season.
