Punjab Kings vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru Betting Odds

Royal Challengers Bengaluru to have a better opening partnership than Punjab Kings

Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Punjab Kings head into this game after both sides registered impressive wins in the final round of games and sealed a top two spot on the points table. Both sides went head to head twice this season, the first game was impacted by rain as the game was reduced to 14 overs and PBKS bowlers dominated the game as they restricted RCB to 95 and eventually won the game by five wickets. In the return leg RCB avenged the loss as they were brilliant on the day and eventually won the game with seven wickets to spare. RCB have been sensational away from home throughout the season as they have won all seven games thus far. What makes this tip so enticing is the fact in each of the last four matches PBKS have conceded a bigger opening partnership which makes us believe RCB will have a better opening stand in the upcoming game.
