Royal Challengers Bengaluru will be led by Faf Du Plessis who finally announced his comeback with fireworks in the last game. Punjab Kings will be led by Sam Curran as Shikhar Dhawan has still not recovered from his injury. 

Both teams are in a similar situation and aspiring to pull off a similar epic heist in order to make it to the playoffs. The 7th placed RCB and 8th placed PBKS both have 8 points with 4 wins in 11 matches and need to win all their matches to qualify for the playoffs. 

Royal Challengers Bengaluru is on a winning spree and has been undefeated since their last three games. Their bowling unit has finally started contributing as a team and Will Jacks has ended their middle-order problems. 

Punjab Kings on the other hand lost their last game against Chennai Super Kings falling in their spin trap. The overreliance on their foreign superstars has been the story for Punjab this season. While Their Indian Contingent have won their games single-handedly the foreign superstars have been disappointing
