PBKS vs RCB IPL Match Prediction and Fantasy Tips

Punjab Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore will meet in the VIVO IPL 2021's 26th match. Punjab is having a difficult season, having won just two of their six games. Chennai ended RCB's four-match unbeaten run, but they bounced back by beating Delhi in a nail-biter.

Punjab is yet to find its stride as a unit and will need to improve their batting and bowling. In the powerplay against Kolkata, they lacked motive, and it cost them the game. Punjab's cautious approach does not seem to be working, as it puts a lot of strain on the middle-approach.

This year, RCB has bolstered their bowling attack, and it appears to be paying off handsomely. Maxwell is on fire, which gives the team a nice balance. RCB are on their way to the playoffs after winning five of their first six games.

The match between Punjab Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore will be thrilling, as both teams aim to play a free-flowing style of cricket.
