Well, yes that is exactly how this battle is shaping up. Both the teams, a depleted Royal Challengers Bangalore and Kings XI Punjab lost their opening fixtures but came back roaring in the second, thanks to a few inspired performances. Now they go head-to-head against eachother on what is shaping up to be a cracking game.

Glenn Maxwell, on the bank of his match-winning 44 off 20 balls will hold the key to their success. On the other hand, RCB will look upto Chahal and Negi for good performances and would be hoping Chris Gayle strikes. If he does, it could be game, set and match very quickly. Virat Kohli, in all probability will be missing out this fixture and AB de Villiers too will be missing.

The match starts at 8:00 pm IST.
