In the 26th match of IPL 2021, Punjab Kings (PBKS) will face-off Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
PBKS, who have won just two of their six games, beat Mumbai Indians (MI) to resurge back in their fifth match but were once again caught in doldrums as they had a floundering contest against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). The KL Rahul led side will have to make a few changes in their playing XI to return back on the winning track.
Meanwhile, after being thrashed by Chennai Super Kings (CSK), Virat Kohli & Co. grooved back by edging past Delhi Capitals (DC) by a run in their next game. RCB won’t be making any changes in their playing XI and will continue with the same combination.
Head-to-Head record
