Punjab Kings v Royal Challengers Bengaluru Preview
Beaten finalists in 2014, Punjab Kings finally have the chance to take the title for the first time. Ricky Ponting’s side excelled during the group stage, finishing top of the table with 19 points, but were crushed in the first qualifier match by Punjab Kings by eight wickets. Now they will hope to take their revenge on the biggest stage. To do so, they will need a vastly improved batting display and will be looking to captain Shreyas Iyer who hit a sparkling unbeaten 87 in Sunday’s victory over Mumbai Indians.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru have another opportunity to win the crown having lost in the showpiece final in 2009, 2011 and 2016. Led by former England coach Andy Flower, RCB finished second in the group stage and booked their place in the final courtesy of a brilliant bowling performance against PBKS, bowling them out for just 101. Fast bowler Josh Hazlewood and spinner Suyash Sharma both took three wickets and will be targeting another strong performance against the Kings.
