This will be a game between two sides who are under a lot of pressure. While KXIP have lost three of their last four matches in the Indian Premier League 2019, RCB cannot afford anymore losses after they had started with six defeats in a row.

RCB vs KXIP
April 24, 8.00PM IST
M Chinnaswamy Stadium – Bengaluru, India
Indian Premier League 2019 Match Prediction and Preview:
This will be a game between two sides who are under a lot of pressure. While KXIP have lost
three of their last four matches in the Indian Premier League 2019, RCB cannot afford
anymore losses after they had started with six defeats in a row. They however will have the
benefit of playing at home, but they do not have a great record here, losing three of the four
games at Chinnaswamy.
The deck will once again be a good batting track, with the team that wins the toss preferring
to chase. RCB might not tinker with their line-up that defeated CSK, while Punjab will wait
on injury updates to Mujeeb before finalizing their playing 11.
Fantasy Expert Prediction – Though RCB started off with six losses, they have found their
momentum back with three wins in four games. Their key players are in fine form as well,
and the addition of Dale Steyn to the side makes the unit formidable. Punjab have relied too
heavily on KL Rahul and Gayle, and with their bowling looking inexperienced, they can go
for aplenty on a flat wicket. Hence the match prediction is tilted heavily towards the home
team.

2. Dotball Prediction 11-
Dotball Fantasy Tips – Parthiv Patel was the star in RCB’s win over CSK, as he plundered a
fifty and then ran out Shardul Thakur off the last ball to hand his team a thrilling one-run
win. He also comes cheaper than KL Rahul, and with players like Kohli and AB de Villiers
not coming cheap in the Dotball Fantasy App, Patel makes for a utility pick.
Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers are the big guns in RCB’s batting line-up and the hosts will
want the duo to fire on all cylinders on Wednesday. Kohli is the team’s leading run-scorer in
IPL 2019, and even smashed a hundred against KKR. De Villiers has a couple of fifties in his
last three innings, including an unbeaten 59 when Kings XI faced off against RCB earlier in
this edition. Moeen Ali has shown his good batting form and he can bowl four quality overs
of spin, while Stoinis can be a handy pick as well. I have gone ahead with Dale Steyn over

3. Chahal for my side as he already has taken 4 wickets in two games, and has been responsible
for lending the much-needed balance to the unit.
For Punjab, I have Chris Gayle, who has been on fire in this IPL season and who is the key
player for Punjab when it comes to batting. The West Indian has scores of 63, 99*, 30 and 69
in the last four games, and will want to get another big knock on a track he is familiar with –
having played for RCB for a few seasons. Mayank Agarwal is a powerful striker and can add
some quickfire runs along with Sarfaraz Khan – if he plays. Shami has been one of the most
consistent performers with the ball for Punjab, and it will be up to him and Viljoen to keep
the run-rate in check. The Indian has picked up 13 wickets at an economy rate of 8.70.

Dream11 Prediction 11-
Dream11 Fantasy Tips – I have included Mandeep Singh in my squad over Sarfaraz Khan,
while Ashwin comes into the team for Viljoen. As players on the Dream11 app are more

4. expensive, I have to fill my team with cheaper alternatives, hence players like Saini get a
look-in. Chahal finds a presence as well, though Steyn over Chahal is a good choice as well.
Dream11 captain and vice-captain: Gayle, Ali
