The first match of Sunday’s doubleheader will see Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) lock horns with Punjab Kings (PBKS) at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium. Both teams will vouch for the two points on offer to keep themselves floating for a top-four finish.
PBKS defeated the Kolkata Knight Riders by 5 wickets in their previous match to keep themselves another chance of making it to the top four. However, the PBKS will want their middle order to put up a better show and rally along with their skipper KL Rahul.
Battle of the Reds is upon us, 12th Man Army. 🔴 ⚔️

The bowlers, meanwhile, have done a decent job with young spinner Ravi Bishnoi bowling exceedingly well. Mohammed Shami has also done a decent job with the new ball and at the death.
On the other hand, RCB have 14 points in their pocket and are closer to securing a spot in the playoffs. The team has performed in unison and the all-round performance of Glenn Maxwell has been an added advantage. RCB will be keen to see AB de Villiers back in the form which will be the icing on the cake.
