MATCH DETAILS:
In the 31st game of the 2020 IPL, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will look to go on their winning streak when they play against Kings XI Punjab (KXIP). The match is scheduled to be held in the Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Sharjah at 07:30 PM IST (06:00 PM local time) (02:00 PM UTC).
KXIP very much depends on Mayank Agarwal and KL Rahul. It will be tough to get away from the attack of Washington Sunder and Yuzvendra Chahal.
PREVIEW FOR DREAM11 FANTASY:
Now, RCB in its fantastic form, out of 7, RCB already won 5 matches. No one can expect this kind of performance from RCB but they are and tied with Delhi Capitals (DC) and Mumbai Indians (MI) as the best team in the league. Against KKR also, RCB was in top form.
On the other hand, KXIP has been on a continuous losing streak. Out of 7 games, they already lost 6 matches. The over-dependency on Mayank Agarwal and KL Rahul is the main reason behind the downfall of Punjab. Punjab has to change their players’ combination as it is not looking like their best playing XI. One change in the team is looking obvious that is Chris Gayle replace Glenn Maxwell.
WEATHER REPORT:
During the match, the weather will be hot, dry, and clear.
