The Punjab Kings are set to take on the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the 2023 season opener. The match is scheduled to take place on April 20 at the Punjab Cricket Association Stadium in Mohali.
The Punjab Kings finished the 2022 season in fifth place with a record of 12 wins and 12 losses. They will be looking to improve on that performance in 2023 and will be hopeful of getting off to a good start with a win over the Royal Challengers Bangalore.
The Royal Challengers Bangalore, on the other hand, finished the 2022 season in seventh place with a record of 11 wins and 13 losses. They will be hoping to turn things around in 2023 and will be looking to start the season with a win over the Punjab Kings.
So, who will win the 2023 season opener?
Well, it is difficult to say. Both teams have made some changes to their squads in the off-season and it is hard to know how they will fare against each other. However, if we had to make a prediction, we would say that the Punjab Kings are more likely to win the match.
KXIP VS RCB Match Winning Team Prediction
KXIP vs RCB Previous Stats
| Statistics | Head to Head : 24 | Last 4 matches | Highest score |
| RCB | NA | NA | NA |
| KXIP | NA | NA | NA |
Royal Challengers Bangalore Strength
Talking about the batting of RCB, Aaron Finch and young Devdutt Paddikal gave a wonderful start to the team in the last match. Apart from this, de Villiers also scored a stormy half-century. Apart from this, captain Virat Kohli and Shivam Dubey themselves will also be expected to bat well. If all-rounder Chris Morris gets a chance in tomorrow’s match then he too can score fiercely in the last over.
His bowling has been a major problem for RCB since the first season of IPL. However, in the previous match, the team led by Dale Steyn bowled brilliantly and also defended the target of 164 runs. Veteran Indian fast bowler Umesh Yadav and young Navdeep Saini also supported Stan well. In spin bowling, leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal and all-rounder Washington Sundar also bowled well.
Kings xi punjab Strength
Kings XI Punjab had to face defeat in the super over in their first match. However, the young batsman of the team, Mayank Agarwal, scored a brilliant 89 runs. Apart from Mayank Agarwal, none of the team’s batsmen did anything special. Captains KL Rahul, Maxwell and Nicholas Puran will also have to look good at batting. It will be interesting to see if Chris Gayle joins the team in this match against RCB.
If we talk about Punjab bowling, then their bowling looks very weak. Apart from Indian fast bowler Mohammad Shami, there is no other big name in the team. England all-rounder Chris Jordan proved to be very expensive in the last match, so the team will have to consider him. However, Punjab have a good option in spin as young leg-spinner Ravi Bishroi. Apart from this, all-rounder Krishnapa Gowtham will also be expected to bowl well.
