Now this match between Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) is to be played at Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium in Ahmedabad. This time it is certain that IPL will get a new champion, because neither Punjab Kings nor Royal Challenge Bengaluru has won the IPL title so far. On one side, the RCB team has reached the IPL Playenf for the tenth time, but never won the title match.

Let us know what is the pitch report for this high voltage match and what is the possible playing 11 of both teams.
pitch Report
The pitch here is usually considered a paradise for the batsmen. A five -layer red soil ensures that the bounce is right and it is easy to kill the ball in any direction to the batsmen. However it is a curse for the spinner who often struggles on the pitch. The circumstances here are usually balanced. The boundary here is so long that batsmen have to put their shot at the right time to avoid getting out. Slow bowlers do not get much turn on this pitch. Due to moisture here, the fast bowler enjoys the middle swing and bounce. In later stages, spinners dominate because the pitch deteriorates. In T20, more than 200 scores are made here. During the evening match, on -on the bowler, especially the spinner, bothers the spinner. The wet ball becomes slippery, which reduces the grip and control. The team winning the toss here chooses bowling first.
This Season Enough Strong Visible doing Is RCB
Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), captained by Rajat Patidar, have shown a strong game from the beginning this season, which seems to be a strong contender to win the trophy. Then whether it is Virat Kohli, Jitesh Sharma or Silver Patidar himself. All these players have played a match -winning innings for their team in case of time. At the same time, Virat Kohli’s opening partner Phil Shault is also seen playing his important role in the team, who will have to show the same amazing against Punjab Kings in the final. Talking about bowling, players like Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Krunal Pandya, Yash Dayal and Josh Hazlewood have the ability to destroy any batting department, which requires the batsmen to be careful in the finals. In this high voltage match, both RCB batsman and bowler would like to put all their strength.
Punjab Kings of Strength Too Some? Less No
In the second qualifier match, the five -time champion team, which was the confidence of Punjab Kings, who reached the finals after defeating Mumbai Indians, is on the seventh sky, which despite scoring more than 200, defeated Mumbai Indians badly. Shreyas Iyer would like to land against RCB in the final match with this strategy. The team currently has a player like Priyansh Arya, Prabhasimran Singh and Josh English in the top order, who can do the whole game in your hand if they want. The lower sequence of the team with players like Shreyas Iyer, Nihal Vadhera and Marx Stineis seems to be quite strong. Talking about bowling, the kind of game that Kelle Jemishan, Harpreet Brar and Ajmatullah Umarjai have played the entire season can work to make RCB in trouble in the final.
