Yes, RCB and Punjab are tied as far as their win/loss record goes, but that’s it. RCB sits far ahead in terms of their Net Run Rating goes. RCB is boasting a top-3 NRR at +0.672 while the Kings are behind with a +0.172 NRR of their own.
As far as their recent games go, both of them sit with a 3-2 record in their last five games. However, RCB has looked significantly better in terms of their winning margin with a +57 advantage over their opponents compared to the -16 margin that the Kings have in that span that is led by a 50-run loss to the Rajasthan Royals.
In their previous meetings against one another, the Royal Challengers have the upper hand as well winning three consecutive matchups. They’ve also done so by a wide margin as well at a +24, +4, and +60 advantage in each of the three meetings.
With everything going in the direction of RCB, bettors should get in on the underpriced odds at cricket betting sites while they still can.
