IPL2024: PBKS vs. RCB Playing 11: Thursday, May 9, at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamshala, is when Punjab Kings and Royal Challengers Bengaluru will square off in a crucial IPL 2024 match.
Since there is only Net Run Rate separating the two teams, a victory is essential for both, as a loss would end their chances of making the playoffs this year. PBKS (-0.187) and RCB (-0.049) have slightly different NRRs, but for RCB, who are ranked seventh and eighth in the table, it’s all about winning big.
The good news for RCB is that they have won their last three games and have emerged victorious in these later stages. Punjab’s winning streak was put on hold when they lost to CSK in the most recent game; they now need to bounce back quickly.
