The 58th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 will witness the hosts Punjab Kings against Royal Challengers Bengaluru at HPCA stadium in Dharamshala. The match is scheduled for 9th May from 7:30 pm. 

Royal Challengers Bengaluru will be led by Faf Du Plessis who finally announced his comeback with fireworks in the last game. Punjab Kings will be led by Sam Curran as Shikhar Dhawan has still not recovered from his injury. 

Both teams are in a similar situation and aspiring to pull off a similar epic heist in order to make it to the playoffs. The 7th placed RCB and 8th placed PBKS both have 8 points with 4 wins in 11 matches and need to win all their matches to qualify for the playoffs. 

Royal Challengers Bengaluru is on a winning spree and has been undefeated since their last three games. Their bowling unit has finally started contributing as a team and Will Jacks has ended their middle-order problems. 

Punjab Kings on the other hand lost their last game against Chennai Super Kings falling in their spin trap. The overreliance on their foreign superstars has been the story for Punjab this season. While Their Indian Contingent have won their games single-handedly the foreign superstars have been disappointing

Punt Players to Look Out For 

• Swapnil Singh (RCB) 
• Harpreet Brar (PBKS) 

HPCA Stadium Analysis 

The last game was a perfect testament of how things unfold at this stadium. Fill your team with decent spinners and bowlers with pace variations. 

PBKS vs RCB: Top Three Players You Can pick in your fantasy Team

Faf du Plessis 

Royal Challengers Bengaluru Skipper Faf du Plessis finally played an innings of his reputation almost winning RCB the match in this short yet effective stint. He scored 23-ball 64 in the last match and is expected to continue his form. 

Virat Kohli

The only batsman that defies the law of averages is Virat Kohli. He has been consistently scoring runs at a great strike of 150+ in each match and has been dominantly holding the orange cap. He has scored 542 runs in 11 matches. 

Kagiso Rabada 

Kagiso Rabada has been in hot and cold form this season taking 11 wickets in 11 matches. Rabada has a great matchup against RCB batters, especially Faf du Plessis and can be crucial in the powerplay taking key wickets. Rabada would not be a surety in other teams and can fetch you great rewards. 

Faf Du Plessis and Kagiso Rabada are ideal choices for captaincy and Vice-captaincy. 

Differential Picks for PBKS vs RCB

• Cameron Green (RCB) 
• Jonny Bairstow (PBKS) 
• Shashank Singh (PBKS)
