Sharjah: Royal Challengers Bangalore will look to go closer securing a place in the playoffs when lock horns with Punjab Kings in their Indian Premier League match at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Sunday. Virat Kohli’s side are currently placed third in the table with seven wins and a victory would almost give them the needed cushion to enter the last four.
RCB on back-to back wins against Mumbai Indians and Rajasthan Royals, will come into this game with a lot confidence. Glenn Maxwell hammered a half-century in the last while Harshal Patel has been the man to go for skipper Kohli. Apart from AB de Villiers, most of the batters in the top got something under their belt since the resumption of the season in UAE.
Punjab, on the other hand, registered a convincing five wicket win over Kolkata Knight Riders last friday in last over thriller. Skipper KL Rahul is undoubtedly the key man of his head and held the anchor of the innings in the last game. Shahrukh Khan’s cameos down the order has somewhat gone unnoticed with the burly 25-year-old from Tamil Nadu playing a few crucial knocks this season.
