Punjab Kings vs Royal Challengers Bangalore
The sixth match of the 2024 Indian Premier League is underway.In this match, Punjab Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore have entered the field to face each other. In today's match, Royal Challengers Bangalore won the toss first and elected to field first, allowing Punjab Kings to bat first. I would not say that Punjab Kings batsmen batted very well today they batted fairly well today.When Punjab Kings' opening batsman Jonny Bairstow got out for 17, Punjab Kings were under a bit of pressure. Punjab Kings skipper Shikhar Dhawan has scored the team's individual highest run for Punjab Kings today, he was dismissed for 45 runs off 37 balls. In today's match Punjab Kings team total is 176 runs maybe it is nothing for Royal Challengers Bangalore team as their batting line up is very strong.
The Punjab Kings team managed to provide the target of 177 runs today. Is it enough to win against a team like Bengaluru? I thought Punjab would provide a bigger target today. Because Bengaluru's batting order is very strong. A high score is absolutely necessary to win against this team.
Sikhar Dhawan scored the maximum 45 runs for Punjab. However, Sikhar Dhawan's strike rate was only 121. Besides, every batsman can bat a bit better, but no batsman can score big.
Mohammad Siraj and Yash Dayal bowled very well today. Siraj picked up two wickets with 26 runs in 4 overs. And Yash Dayal picked up a wicket with 23 runs in 4 overs.
Royal Challengers Bangalore squad includes T20 specialist batsmen like Kohli, Du Plessis, Rajat Patidar, Maxwell, Cameron Green and Dinesh Karthik. I don't think scoring 177 is a tough task for Bengaluru.
