PBKS vs RCB Dream11 Prediction: Punjab Kings (PBKS) will lock horns against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in match number 27 of the Tata Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 at the Punjab Cricket Association Stadium in Mohali. The set contest between PBKS and RCB will be held on 20th April, starting at 3:30 PM IST.
RCB and PBKS have shown patterns of their previous seasons in the last few games of the IPL 2023. They are so used to starting their IPL run with a dominating victory, expressing what they are capable of and then suddenly the form plummets and they start losing games on the trot.
RCB has just managed to win a single game in the last four outings. Their batting has seen collapse every time the top order has failed to stitch partnerships. RCB has its mass concentrated on the top order and the middle order has looked clueless despite having enough experience in it.
On the other side, Punjab Kings (PBKS) made a comeback in their previous game following two consecutive losses. Despite missing their skipper, PBKS pulled off a tricky chase with three balls to spare. The win would certainly instil confidence in the players as they face a heavyweight side tomorrow.

Punjab vs Bangalore Fantasy Team
Top Fantasy Picks:
- Faf du Plessis (RCB): Bangalore captain Faf du Plessis is unstoppable. The way he batted in the last game was soothing to the eyes of cricket fans. He is turning the heat on despite retiring from international cricket. To add the cherry on the cake, Faf is currently leading the top-run-getters tally with 259 runs in five innings.
- Arshdeep Singh (PBKS): Last time PBKS played in Mohali, pacer Arshdeep Singh scalped three wickets in three overs by conceding just 19 runs. The local boy returned with a solitary wicket against LSG in the last game.
- Shikhar Dhawan (PBKS): Punjab skipper Shikhar Dhawan missed the last game for his side due to some injury. If he is fit to play, he certainly will look to pick up his batting form. Dhawan has mustered 233 runs in four innings at an average of 116.50.
