RCB VS KXIP Dream11 Prediction: The 31st match of IPL 2020 sees Royal Challengers Bangalore taking on Kings XI Punjab on Wednesday. Royal Challengers have started strongly in the tournament and are currently sitting comfortably at third position. For Kings XI Punjab, nothing is going their way at the moment. KL Rahul and Co. have only managed to win one game in seven matches.
Here’s a look at the previews of both the teams:
Royal Challengers Bangalore:
Royal Challengers Bangalore are currently flying high in the tournament. There are coming into the game on the back of two consecutive wins. They won their last game against KKR by a huge margin of 82 runs. They would be aiming to keep the winning momentum going ahead of KXIP clash.
KEY PLAYERS:
- AB de Villiers:
The South African cricketer played one of the best knocks in the this year’s IPL against KKR. On a sluggish wicket, when every batsman was struggling to score runs, de Villiers played a sensational 33-ball 73, including 5 fours and 6 sixes. We are backing him to play another such knock on Wednesday.
- Virat Kohli
Virat Kohli struggled to get going in the last game but has been in decent touch. He shouldn’t be someone you should miss in your fantasy team. He will be our captain in the Dream11 Team.
- Chris Morris
Morris has played only two games thus far but has shown a great impact with his bowling performances. He has been excellent in power play as well as death overs. Moreover, he can give your points with the bat as well if gets the chance to bat.
Kings XI Punjab:
RCB VS KXIP Dream11 Prediction: Nothing is going their way at the moment. They suffered an embarrassing 2-run loss against KKR in their last game. Every game is a must-win encounter for them from there. They can’t afford to lose a game from here. KXIP should step on the field with their best XI against RCB.
Key Players:
- KL Rahul
Though KXIP are at the bottom currently, their skipper is the leading run-scorer in the league at the moment. He has been consistently scoring for the team and also played a stellar knock in the last game. The last time KXIP met RCB in this edition, KL Rahul scored a ravishing century. We are hoping that he would replicate another such knock on Wednesday.
- Mayank Agarwal
Rahul’s counterpart, Mayank Agarwal is also a must-have in your dream team. The Indian opener has been in fine touch and is amongst the runs. He has scored 337 runs in 7 games at an average of 48.14.
- Ravi Bishnoi
Ravi Bishnoi has proved to be a great asset for the team. He has been amongst the wickets and has stepped on to the occasion every time the team needs him. Expect him to deliver a crucial spell on Wednesday.
