Punjab Kings are one of the teams who are yet to win a title in the history of the IPL. They have a very strong squad this season. The likes of Kagiso Rabada, Shikhar Dhawan, Mayank Agarwal, Liam Livingstone, Johnny Bairstow, etc form a very strong and intimidating line-up. Punjab has a good balance of batters, bowlers and all-rounders in their side and have been rated as one of the best teams of the IPL by many experts. They’ll be playing under a new captain in Mayank Agarwal who’ll look to lead them from the front and win this match.

Faf du Plessis will lead the side and the management will expect them to do well under the former Protea skipper.

Match: Punjab Kings vs Royal Challengers Bangalore, Match 3, Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022
Venue: Dr DY Patil Sports Academy, Mumbai
Date and Time: 27th March 2022, Sunday, 7:30 PM IST
It will be a good wicket to bat on at the DY Patil Sports Academy. The dimensions of the ground are not big either which will favor the batters. There will be some assistance for the spinners as well with the older ball but dew will come into play as well making things difficult for them. Teams will look to chase here. The average first innings total here is 143 runs. Chasing sides have won 6 out of 7 matches played here.
Punjab Kings will be without their big players like Johnny Bairstow and Kagiso Rabada which will be a big blow to them. Royal Challengers Bangalore will be the clear favorites to win this game.
