Mayank Agarwal will lead PBKS and the RCB have a new skipper in Faf du Plessis, who took over after Virat Kohli decided to quit the job.

The match will be played at the DY Patil Cricket Stadium in Mumbai. When it comes to stats, PBKS has an edge over RCB. Both the teams played 28 matches against each other, of which PBKS won 15 matches. If you take the last five matches, PBKS won three of those matches.

PBKS likely playing 11

Mayank Agarwal (c), Shikhar Dhawan, Jonny Bairstow (wk), Liam Livingstone, Kagiso Rabada, Rahul Chahar, Arshdeep Singh, Odean Smith, Sandeep Sharma, Shahrukh Khan, Harpreet Brar.

Both teams have five to six big names, unlike KKR or Delhi Capitals. The game will be an equal contest between these two teams. It will be hard to predict who will win the game.
