RCB Playing 11 vs Punjab Kings- IPL 2025, Qualifier 1:
Royal Challengers Bengaluru will go into the match against PBKS with the opening combination of Philip Salt and Virat Kohli, both of whom are in good form in the ongoing tournament.
Salt was matched shot to shot by Virat Kohli, who scored yet another half-century and kept the tempo up while forming small but crucial partnerships with other batters.
Middle-order batsmen and all-rounders: Mayank Agarwal, Rajat Patidar (c), Romario Shepherd, Jitesh Sharma (wk), Tim David, Krunal Pandya
The openers will be followed by Mayank Agarwal, who stayed right till the end and stitched a decisive partnership with stand-in captain Jitesh Sharma to guide RCB to a memorable win.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru would be elated by the way the team's middle order handled pressure after losing back-to-back wickets in the middle overs, with the Indian core led by Jitesh Sharma bailing them out.
Royal Challengers would hope for hard-hitting batter Tim David to attain full fitness before the first qualifier, as the Australian batter is an important part of the team's middle order.
The match scheduled to be played on Thursday is predicted to be a battle between the in-form batting lineups of both teams.
Bowlers: Suyash Sharma, Yash Dayal, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Josh Hazlewood
Hazlewood's absence has come to haunt RCB massively in the last two encounters as the bowlers have not been able to stem the flow of runs on a batting-friendly wicket in Lucknow.
As far as RCB's spin department is concerned, it will be taken care of by Krunal Pandya and Suyash Sharma.
Krunal, on the other hand, has gone about his business as usual and looked the most effective bowler against LSG, but wasn't able to bowl his full quota of four overs.
