Pitch Report :

Brabourne has been one of the best venues for batting in IPL 2022. The dimensions of the ground are not that big and the flat pitch assists the batters quite well. The batters should enjoy the ball coming onto the bat, with dew also likely to come into play. The spinners will be crucial in the middle overs with some turn on offer as well. DC scored a massive 207 runs here. There is a bit of bounce on the surface that could make the fast bowlers from both teams more effective. Teams may look to win the toss and bat first. Because chasing sides have won 11 out of 14 games played here.

Average first innings score here is 180 runs.

The temperature is expected to hover around 35°C on the Friday with 75% humidity and 18 km/hr wind speed. There are no chances of rain during the game.

Preview :

Royal Challengers Bangalore will be squaring off against Punjab Kings for the second time in the sixtieth match of this season of the Tata IPL. Royal Challengers Bangalore is currently placed at the fourth position on the points table of this season of the Tata IPL whereas Punjab Kings is currently placed at the eighth spot on the points table.

PBKS has no option but to play freely and that is what it started out doing before just pulling things back a little. Now, however, it is going to have to hope for something special from Livingstone or Rajapaksa, or even Dhawan to get the runs needed in this match.
We think PBKS certainly has the batting to be able to match RCB or even better it. There is enough depth in the lineup and there is no doubting the power. With Jitesh Sharma also playing a good hand in most matches, PBKS has 6-7 batsmen that it can rely on. We would look at betting on the PBKS batting as a whole. That means backing them in the Most Sixes, Most Fours, or the Team with Highest Scoring Batsman.
PBKS's batting has not been supported by its bowling, though. Kagiso Rabada has not had the kind of productive IPL that he was having for the last few years with the Delhi Capitals and the same can be said about Rahul Chahar as well.

RCB absolutely demolished SRH in its previous match thanks to another excellent inning from Faf du Plessis at the top and some astonishing striking by Dinesh Karthik at the end. Rajat Patidar also showed good form and seems to have cemented his place at number three. Maxwell is playing high-impact innings and Lomror also seems to be an improved player.
The one person who continues to struggle is Virat Kohli. Unfortunately, it looks like the fast he gets out is better for RCB right now because even when he does spend some time at the crease, he is struggling. He will have to make a concerted effort to score quicker and that could bring his downfall once more.
