Punjab vs Bangalore Preview: Dream Prediction, Playing 11, Pitch Report, Top Fantasy Picks
Virat and his Bangalore boys have been in a different vein of form this season, in comparison to the previous 13 seasons. Now Bangalore knows how to get right back up after being knocked down. They faced a heavy defeat vs Chennai, but ensured that it was only a blip in their progress.
Punjab on the other hand are suffering from a crisis of confidence. KL Rahul is the only man in complete form, he carries the team on his back but needs serious help from the other 10 players. Punjab are in dire need of putting a winning run together, which looks unlikely given Bangalore’s form.
