PBKS vs RCB: Mullanpur Mein Mahamuqabla!
Pehli baar Punjab Kings (PBKS) apne naye homeground Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, Mullanpur, Chandigarh mein Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) ka saamna karegi. Barish se prabhavit last match ke baad sirf 48 ghante mein yeh teams ek baar phir bhidne ko taiyaar hain.
🏏 Toss Prediction
PBKS ka naya homeground unke liye lucky nahi raha hai — 8 matches mein se 3 hi jeete hain. Toss jeetne par woh pehle batting karna pasand karenge. RCB bhi apne batters par bharosa rakhegi, especially unke pichle collapse ke baad jahan unhone sirf 42 runs mein 7 wickets gawa diye the.
🔥 Star Players to Watch
- Virat Kohli: PBKS ke khilaaf 1031 runs, 1 century aur 5 fifties ke saath woh clear danger man hain. Agar pitch bowlers-friendly hui toh unka anchor role aur bhi important ban jaata hai.
- Josh Hazlewood: Pichhle match mein PBKS ke khilaaf 3 for 14. Purple Cap ke race mein bhi shamil hai.
- Yuzvendra Chahal: Mullanpur ki pitch spinners ke liye faida mand hai. Rajat Patidar jaise spin-friendly batters ke khilaaf unki bowling match ka flow badal sakti hai.
- Nehal Wadhera & Arshdeep Singh: PBKS ki middle order aur bowling unit consistently perform kar rahi hai. Top-order ko thoda aur contribute karna hoga.
📊 Head-to-Head & Win Probability
34 matches mein se PBKS ne 18 jeete hain. Pichle do seasons mein RCB ne PBKS ko dominate kiya, lekin April 18 ko woh streak toot gaya. Ab dono teams full intensity ke saath aayengi field par.
