Punjab Kings vs Royal Challengers Bangalore match prediction 6th match

Kings XI Punjab vs Royal Challengers Bangalore | Top Player Bets to Look Forward to

Kings XI Punjab will take on Royal Challengers Bangalore in the sixth match of the Indian Premier League 2020 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, in Dubai, on September 24, Thursday.

Kings XI Punjab will be kicking their luck as they could not close down the last game against Delhi Capitals and ended up losing after the super over. There was a controversial short-run decision which went in Delhi Capitals' favour and that technically helped them helped them to win the game. However, one cannot dwell in the past and KL Rahul and co. will be looking to bounce back stronger than ever. On the other hand, Royal Challengers Bangalore made a fantastic start to their campaign, just that initial win they were looking for and they got it quite convincingly against Sunrisers Hyderabad. I am expecting this encounter to be an enthralling one and why won't it be as two very competitive sides will go head on tomorrow in Dubai and we cannot just wait for it anymore! In the meantime, let me share with you three of the top player markets to bet on from this match.

Mohammed Shami to be the top team bowler for Kings XI Punjab

We are talking about a bowler who has grown in confidence in almost every single format of the game - yes, it is Mohammad Shami! The spell that he bowled against Delhi Capitals rattled the batsmen and he finished with figures of 4-0-15-3. Shami is going to be one of the bowlers who is going to make a severe impact in this edition of the Indian Premier League and that’s what my hunch says. Shami had picked up 19 wickets from 14 games in the previous season of the Indian Premier League. The Indian fast bowler has 4 wickets from 3 games at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. He has 6 wickets from 7 games against the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL. He has added 7 scalps from 5 games in this calendar year so far and he definitely looks hungrier than ever. Shami has 84 T20 games under his belt in his career and has 94 wickets to his name, see, my point being that he may leak runs at times but he does have that knack of picking up wickets and that's what separates him from the pack! William Hill is offering odds of 4.50 for Mohammad Shami to be the top team bowler for Kings XI Punjab.

AB de Villiers to score at least 27 runs

Mr 360 degree of cricket, AB de Villiers announced his arrival in the 13th edition of the Indian Premier League in some fashion in the very first game for Royal Challengers Bangalore. His innings of 51 runs set the tone for Virat Kohli and co. to defend the total and outshine Sunrisers Hyderabad in the process. Now here’s a piece of trivia for you that you might not have known - AB de Villiers' average with the bat has not gone below 44.00 since 2018 in the IPL! Now, the South African legendary batsman is the 8th highest run scorer in the history of the Indian Premier League with 4446 runs at an average of 40.06. He scored 442 runs at an average of 44.20 including 5 half centuries in the previous season of the Indian Premier League. De Villiers is the second highest run getter when it comes to head-to-head encounters against Kings XI Punjab and his average is quite staggering - just a little above 52.0. As you can see, most of the scenarios are favouring us and Dafabet is offering the best odds of 1.87 for AB de Villiers to score at least 27 runs in the forthcoming fixture against Kings XI Punjab tomorrow.

KL Rahul to score 27 runs too

The man of the hour in Indian cricket - KL Rahul has been absolutely sensational with the bat in the last year and a half. Rahul is leading the Kings XI Punjab side for the first time in the Indian Premier League and he is definitely looking to lead from the front. The man from Karnataka, India, showed signs of brilliance with the bat but got out after scoring just 21 runs from 19 balls. And I feel that is just a prelude to a storm that is about to hit the United Arab Emirates and it is just a matter of time. Rahul was the second highest run getter in the previous season of the IPL with 592 runs in just 14 matches at an incredible average of 53.90. In the season before that, KL Rahul scored a mammoth 659 runs in 14 matches at an average of 54.91, which means his batting average in the IPL has not gone below 53.90 in the IPL since 2018. The skipper of the Kings XI Punjab has 4097 T20 runs in his career already at an average of 41.80 and that’s way more than what we need him to score tomorrow against Royal Challengers Bangalore, against whom he averages 35.80. Dafabet is offering odds of 1.87 for KL Rahul to score just 27 runs against Royal Challengers Bangalore.
