IPL 2022 | RCB vs PBKS | Fantasy Tips

The race to the playoffs is starting to get as clear as water as the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 is in its final stages. The ‘Match 60’ of the tournament will see Royal Challengers Bangalore clash against Punjab Kings for two very crucial points in the league standings.

Bangalore are currently at the fourth spot with fourteen points to their name and have good chances of consolidating their place in the playoffs with two wins in their last two games. 

On the other hand, Punjab Kings have it tough with just ten points in eleven games. With three games still to go, Punjab will have to win all their games and yet rely on the results from other games if they wish to make it into the playoffs.

Here is a list of players that might have a significant impact on today’s game:

Superstars of the game

Wanindu Hasaranga: The Sri Lankan has been a sensation for the Royal Challengers. With 21 wickets to his name in twelve outings, the bowler has a great chance of surpassing Yuzvendra Chahal in the race for the Purple Cap tonight.

Harshal Patel: While Harshal looked a little off colour at the start of the season, he’s found his groove as the tournament approaches the business end. Harshal has fourteen wickets in eleven games and could be a significant threat to PBKS tonight.

Liam Livingstone: The English all-rounder has set the stage on fire with his trailblazing batting in the IPL this season. Liam has scored 315 runs so far with a staggering strike rate of 183.14, and it does not look like he’d want to stop anytime soon.

Expert Picks for the game

Shikhar Dhawan: The Indian veteran is the synonym for consistency in the past few years, Dhawan has always been good with the bat, and this season has been no different. Dhawan has accumulated 381 runs off the bat and will be looking at the 400 runs mark.

Faf du Plessis: Faf has been a match winner for RCB this season and has played some crucial innings for his new franchise. Du Plessis could emerge as one of the top batters tonight with 389 runs off the bat and a good string of performances in the past two games.

Kagiso Rabada: Joining his compatriot in the list, the South African pacer has been right in terrific form in the last three games. Rabada has picked up nine wickets in his previous three outings, which is half the number he’s picked this season.
