PBKS vs RCB Weather Report at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, Mullanpur

The Royal Challengers Bengaluru and the Punjab Kings had met each other in their previous game at the Chinnaswami in Bengaluru, and now the time has come for them to face each other yet again, but this time at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur on April 20. With 10 points to their name, Punjab is sitting comfortably in the second position, while with eight points, Bengaluru is ranked fourth.

In the last game, where the two teams had met each other, the rain curtailed the game to a 14-over-a-side game and the toss was won by Punjab, who chose to field. The game turned out to be a batting nightmare for the Bengaluru team as none of their batters were able to stay on the crease. This was changed when Tim David came and played a courageous knock of 50 runs off just 26 balls, which took the team to 95 runs.

The Punjab batters were not too great either in the game, as they kept losing wickets as well. Bhuvneshwar Kumar took two wickets while Josh Hazlewood claimed three, but the total was never going to be a daunting one. A sensible knock of 33 from Nehal Wadhera without losing his wicket meant a victory by five wickets for Punjab.

Over the course of the previous season, the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium's pitch has exhibited a variety of behaviours. It was still a legitimate batting wicket during the day in the Delhi vs. Punjab match. The wicket had shown slowness later in the match between Hyderabad and the home team, Punjab.

As a result, even though the weather will be perfect for an exciting evening cricket match, players will encounter humid conditions at the stadium.
