Royal Challengers Look to Bounce Back Against Punjab Kings in IPL 2024 Match 6
The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 heats up as Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) lock horns with Punjab Kings (PBKS) in a much-anticipated clash today, March 25th. This encounter, Match 6 of the season, will be played at the iconic M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.
RCB Seeking First Win
RCB will be looking to register their first points on the board after a narrow defeat against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the IPL opener. Their batting, led by Faf du Plessis and Glenn Maxwell, looked promising, but the bowling attack came under pressure, failing to defend a decent total.
Punjab Kings Aim to Build Momentum
PBKS, on the other hand, are yet to play their first match. They will be keen to start their campaign on a winning note and will be eyeing RCB's vulnerability in the bowling department to put up a strong showing.

Key Players to Watch
- RCB: Faf du Plessis (captain), Virat Kohli, Glenn Maxwell, Dinesh Karthik (wicket-keeper)
- PBKS: Mayank Agarwal (captain), Liam Livingstone, Jonny Bairstow, Kagiso Rabada
