Punjab Kings: A Team Performance Overview
Punjab Kings have started their current year’s IPL journey with a bang by defeating Delhi Capitals by 4 wickets in their first match. But that momentum was lost in the next two matches which were played against Royal Challengers Bengaluru whom they are going to face again on coming Thursday and Lucknow Super Giants. Although they recovered from this defeat in their next match by winning against Gujarat Titans, They slumped towards the bottom by losing 4 matches in a row namely against Sunrisers Hyderabad, Rajasthan Royals, Mumbai Indians, and Gujarat Titans. Where in Gujarat Titans seemingly succeeded in avenging their defeat in this match.
The next 2 matches were a true breather as Punjab Kings won them against Kolkata Knight Riders and Chennai Super Kings respectively. But this happiness did not last long, as Chennai Super Kings immediately avenged their last defeat from the Punjab Kings by making them lose the last match by 28 runs.
All in all, it does seem to be a roller coaster ride for this team and its captain Shikhar Dhawan. As a captain, Shikhar Dhawan has still not got into his usual smashing form which is keeping the team away from making it big in the current season although the rest of the team members also need to give their best performances in the coming matches to achieve something considerable.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: A Team Performance Overview
Royal Challenger Bengaluru also began their current tournament on a sour note by taking defeat by Chennai Super Kings in their first match which they lost by 6 wickets.
But in the next match, they defeated their upcoming opponent, Punjab Kings by 4 wickets. Then they began their spiraling defeat from various opponents namely Kolkata Knight Riders, Lucknow Super Giants, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Mumbai Indians, Sunrisers Hyderabad, and Kolkata Knight Riders once again. So it was a defeat from the same opponent twice.
But post that match something changed. The team that was dwelling at the bottom and whom almost all the fans of IPL had written off as a lost case of the current season has been reborn like a phoenix bird. Winning 3 consecutive matches after losing in 6 matches in a row, Royal Challengers Bengaluru suddenly jumped to 7th position from the bottom 10. In their efforts to bring their winning momentum back, this team has defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad once and Gujarat Titans twice that too in back-to-back matches.
The team has certainly flickered the hope for even better performances and raised their fan’s expectations for more such wins in the future.
Punjab Kings vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: The Prediction for the Upcoming Match
Punjab Kings who have played 11 matches so far in the current season, have won 4 out of them, implying a disappointing defeat in the remaining 7 matches. This figure talks a lot about the deteriorating performance of the team.
With such a non-considerable performance, they have occupied a position one step below a team that was once considered to be an absolute performance-less team that is Royal Challengers Bengaluru, their upcoming opponent.
On the other hand, The Royal Challengers Bangaluru have certainly shown a spark and have created a winning momentum for themselves from the last 3 matches. Not only that, they have certainly raised hopes for winning the upcoming match against Punjab Kings.
Although, it would be worth seeing, whether Royal Challengers Bengaluru add the upcoming match as a 4th consecutive victory to their belt or Punjab Kings gets successful in halting the RCB’s victorious spree, by winning the upcoming battle.
The Pitch Report for Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium, Dharamshala
The pitch of Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium, Dharamshala famously favors bowlers especially spinners, allowing them to score more wickets, and on the other hand, the batsmen often struggle to score the required runs.
Conclusion:
Punjab Kings and Royal Challengers Bengaluru both these teams have their own reasons to win the next match against each other. But one thing is clear, they both have to put in a lot of effort, better team and individual playing strategies, and have to dig out a lot of skills to win the upcoming battles, in which they both are contestants.
Well, these two teams will definitely try and put in their best efforts to win over each other but what about you?
