PBKS bowlers delivered an impressive spell where they restricted the RCB to score just 95 runs.

Initially in the Second Innings, PBKS struggled to chase. Later batters eventually made their contribution and successfully chased the target and won the match by 5 wickets with 11 balls to spare.

PBKS vs RCB Match Details

Pitch and Conditions

Both teams have strong batting line-ups; hence, it can be expected to be a high-scoring contest at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur. The pitch has only a few dry patches, where bowlers will need to be precise with their lengths, as anything too full or too short can be punished-especially with the ball coming nicely onto the bat when over-pitched.

Despite some grass present in the middle, the pitch has remained consistent across seasons. It tends to play true for the full 40 overs, allowing captains to back their batting units whether setting or chasing a target.
