Preview

Royal Challengers Bengaluru will take on Punjab Kings in the 34th match of the Indian Premier League. This match will be played at M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. 74 matches will be played across 13 cities over the next two months as the IPL fever kicks off. Qualifier 1 and the Eliminator will be played in Hyderabad on May 20 and 21, respectively. Qualifier 2, on May 23, and the final on May 25, will be in Kolkata.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru are third in the points table with four wins and two losses in six matches. They beat Rajasthan Royals in the previous match by 8 wickets. Both their losses so far this season have come at home and that is something that RCB would want to rectify going forward. 

On the other hand, Punjab Kings beat Kolkata Knight Riders by 16 runs in the previous match. They defended a target of 111 runs which is the lowest total defended in the history of IPL and will be high on confidence. They are placed fourth in the table with four wins and two losses in six matches. This should be a closely fought game.
