RCB start favourites against depleted Kings XI Punjab
May 13, 2015

It's match No. 50 of the eighth edition of the Indian Premier League!

Interestingly, we still don't have any teams, who have qualified for the play-offs, setting up a thrilling battle in the next few days to decide to the top  four teams of the T20 league.

The in-form Royal Challengers Bangalore would be looking to continue their form and register a victory against Kings XI Punjab to boost their play-off hopes.

Royals Challengers Bangalore will start as overwhelming favourites against bottom-placed Kings XI Punjab in Mohali on Wednesday.

RCB would settle for nothing less than a win which will not only enable them get past fourth-placed Rajasthan Royals but also give a boost to their chances of progressing to the play-off stage.

RCB is presently lying at the fifth spot with 13 points from 11 games, while Kings XI are out of play-off reckoning with just four points 12 matches.

Having thrashed Kings XI by a huge 138-run margin in their previous meeting in Bangalore, Royals Challengers Bangalore would definitely fancy their chances against the struggling hosts.
