After a dominant win just two days ago, Punjab Kings are ready to roar once again—this time on their home turf in New Chandigarh. The team is high on confidence and in great form, with five wins in seven matches. Shreyas Iyer and his boys will now look to complete a double over Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and strengthen their position in the top half of the table.

What to Expect from the Pitch?

The match will be played at the new PCA Stadium in Mullanpur, where the pitch has consistently supported high-scoring games. The average first innings score here is 177, and teams batting first have won 60% of the games.

Head-to-Head Battle

Punjab Kings and RCB met just 48 hours ago, where Punjab came out on top in a rain-hit 14-over game in Bengaluru. It was a clinical all-round show, with both batters and bowlers stepping up when needed. In recent seasons, Punjab has often had the upper hand against RCB—and with the current form they are in, fans will be hopeful for another strong performance.

The Kings are in rhythm, and they’ve already shown they can handle RCB’s power-packed line-up. With the home crowd behind them and momentum on their side, Punjab Kings will back themselves to pull off another big win.
