Punjab Kings who are sixth on the points table need to make a good effort with te ball after their batters have put up runs on the board. They have two wins on their first six games and need to win this badly to stay in contention for the playoffs.

Meanwhile, this win will take RCB to the top of the points table. They are placed third with 10 points and just one loss in the season so far. With Glenn Maxwell and AB De Villiers in good form, RCB should fancy themselves of chasing down the target.

Up at the top Devdutt Padikkal and Virat Kohli also are informm. Padikkal has also scored his maiden IPL ton against Rajasthan Royals earlier in the season.
