Pitch Report: Mullanpur Stadium
The pitch offers a balanced contest. Expect early bounce for pacers and turn for spinners in the middle overs. Batters can flourish in the powerplay, but the track tends to slow down later.
Dew factor could be crucial in the second innings, making chasing the preferred option for both sides.
PBKS vs RCB Win Prediction
Given the evenly matched squads and dew advantage, the team batting second will likely have the edge. Toss will play a major role in determining the winner of this exciting clash.
