Punjab are currently eighth in the standings with four wins and seven losses. Although they have not been officially eliminated from the race to the playoffs, their chances of making it to the top four are little to none. The availability of their regular captain, Shikhar Dhawan, still remains uncertain due to an injury, which means Sam Curran to lead the team once more. Dhawan’s injury has been one of the big reasons behind Punjab’s poor season.
RCB, on the other hand, have four wins and seven losses in 11 games, and consequently occupy the seventh place in the standings. With only three league games remaining in this season, the Bengaluru-based franchise must secure victories in all of them and rely on favourable results from other matches to bolster their chances of making it to the playoffs. Virat Kohli continues to enjoy a highly successful season, amassing 542 runs in 11 matches at an impressive average of 67.75 and a strike rate of 148.08.
