PBKS vs RCB Dream11 Prediction
In this high-stakes battle, both teams have strong batting lineups. But their bowling attacks have been their weakness. The Dharamshala pitch, known for assisting the swing with the new ball, will prefer PBKS’ pace attack featuring Arshdeep Singh and Kagiso Rabada and RCB’s pace attack like Mohammed Siraj and Yash Dayal.
The spinners of both teams might benefit later in the innings. So, PBKS vs RCB Dream11 prediction will be difficult. Winning depends on how the teams capitalise on changes and hold nerves till the end.
