In the 60th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and the Punjab Kings (PBKS) will be locking horns with each other at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai. The fact that RCB has yet to play at their full potential, still they have managed to win seven games out of 12 matches must be terrifying for the other teams. In their most recent encounter, RCB registered o a 67-run win against Sunrisers Hyderabad, improving their net run rate.

On the other hand, Punjab Kings have been struggling in the tournament so far as they managed to register just five victories from 11 games, their playoff dream keeps blurring with every loss as they are placed at the eighth place in the points table. Even after posting a good total on the board in their last game, PBKS failed to defend against the Rajasthan Royals RR.
