Royal Challengers Bangalore | Kings XI Punjab | 2018 Indian Premier League

KXIP vs RCB, Match 48: Virat Kohli Wins the Toss, Says Will Bowl First

Kings XI, who have lost four of their last five games have 12 points and need to win two of their remaining three encounters to qualify for the playoffs. This is a must-win game for Virat Kohli’s Royal Challengers as a loss will end their hopes of sealing a last-four spot. They have eight points from 11 matches with three more to go.



In their past two defeats, Punjab lost to Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders. In the loss to Rajasthan, the problem was their batting, failing to chase down the 159-run target. Against Kolkata, the Punjab bowlers had a day to forget, conceding 245/6. However, Punjab managed to reach 214/8, falling short by 31 runs. To win against Bangalore, Punjab captain Ravichandran Ashwin would know that both their batting and bowling must click at the Holkar Stadium.
