No score is safe in this stadium, whether any team scores 170 or scores 210, anything is achievable due to short boundaries, and its batting surface allows batsmen to play explosive shots all over the corners of boundaries. A lot of boundaries and sixes can be expected on this ground from both sides. Punjab holds a high winning record against RCB, but, it would not be easier for Punjab to win against Bengaluru in their den, where most fans will shout the names of Kohli and RCB.

What they Say

IPL season starts After losing their first game against CSK in Cheapuk, RCB must be looking to win against PBKS in today's game at their home ground.
It would be the perfect gift for RCB fans if RCB win this game on the occasion of a holi. On the other hand, Shikhar Dhawan led Punjab, having high morals from the last game where they beat the Delhi Capital and will be looking to continue this streak.

After a clinical performance in the last game, all eyes on Sam Curran, Johnny Baistrow, Shikhar Dhawan but will he be able to make this game big on those short boundaries of Chinnaswamy?
