The early pressure coming into this match is on the Royal Challengers Bangalore after they lost their opening match away to the Chennai Super Kings. There were however some positives to come from the match like the form of young Anuj Rawat who almost scored a match winning innings after the top order failed. His efforts were not enough as CSK easily chased down the total. RCB will want to get off the mark in front of their fans as a loss with put them further on the back foot.

Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Punjab Kings Match Prediction: who will win?
Both teams strength lies in their batting lineups with RCB boasting the likes of Kohli, Maxwell and Faf while Punjab have veteran Shikhar Dhawan at the top of the order. He is followed by the hard hitting English duo of Liam Livingstone and Jonny Bairstow. If these teams can get off to a solid start without losing early wickets then they can cash in later in the innings. RCB will be hoping that Mohammed Siraj can reproduce his ODI form, where he once was the top ranked bowler. There are more game changers in the RCB team therefore they should win in front of their home fans.
Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Punjab Kings Toss Prediction
The M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru is usually a batsmens paradise with high scores the order of the day. The boundaries are very small which makes hitting sixes much easier. The team winning the toss should bowl first as defending a total on this ground is very difficult.
Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Punjab Kings Top Run scorer Prediction
The all time leading scorer in the IPL, Virat Kohli is being tipped to top score in this match especially after his failure in the first match. It is very seldom that Kohli has failures in consecutive matches.
Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Punjab Kings Top Wicket Taker Prediction
We are backing Mohammed Siraj to be the top wicket taker in this match.
Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Punjab Kings Betting Preview
One of the main reasons that RCB have never won the title despite having some of the best teams on paper is that they are traditionally a very top heavy side with not much batting after the top five. The first match showed that they now have Rawat and veteran Dinesh Karthik in a more solid middle order. The best chance of Punjab upsetting the home side is to take early wickets and put them under pressure. It is difficult to see the RCB top order fail in consecutive matches, therefore I am predicting them to bounce back and win this match for their team.
