Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Punjab Kings- 60th Match of IPL 2022, Predicted XIs & Stats Preview

Punjab Kings will take on the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the third game of IPL 2022 at the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy, Navi Mumbai. Both teams are yet to win an IPL trophy despite being part of the tournament since the inaugural edition and will be hoping to break the jinx this year. Punjab, in particular, have not made it to the playoffs for a long time now. They have named Mayank Agarwal as their new captain for this edition along with some excellent additions to the squad.

On the other hand, the Royal Challengers Bangalore picked up Faf du Plessis from the marquee list and named him as the skipper of the franchise. They will not have the services of AB de Villiers, who has retired from all forms of cricket but still have the likes of Glenn Maxwell and former skipper Virat Kohli. Moreover, they have added Dinesh Karthik to the squad as well to do the finishing duties. However, Kohli will always remain the talisman of the franchise and RCB will want him to have a fantastic season.

Venue: Dr DY Patil Sports Academy, Navi Mumbai

Date & Time: 27th March, 7:30 PM

Pitch Report
The Navi Mumbai pitch will provide equal competition between bat and ball as the wicket has been really good for batting so far in the games that have been played. The captain that wins the toss will be looking to chase without doubts, considering there could be due later on.
