Punjab Kings vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru Betting Odds

Royal Challengers Bengaluru to have a better opening partnership than Punjab Kings

Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Punjab Kings head into this game after both sides have dominated this season. Both teams went head to head three times this year. The first game was impacted by rain as the match was reduced to 14 overs and PBKS won the game. The return leg in Mullanpur was dominated by the visitors as RCB avenged the loss. The last game between the two sides was played in Qualifier-1 and PBKS batters struggled against ruthless RCB bowlers who restricted them to mere 101 runs and RCB won the game with eight wickets to spare. What makes this tip so enticing is the fact PBKS has conceded a bigger opening partnership in each pf the last five matches which makes us believe RCB will have a better opening partnership in the upcoming game.
