Punjab Kings vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru, 48th Match, Indian Premier League, 2018 - CommentaryPBKS vs RCB, 48th Match, Indian Premier League, 2018 - Commentary

Harsha Bhogle: Right, that was one to forget for Kings XI.

R Venkatesh: A week ago it seemed as if KXIP and KKR will have an easy claim to 3rd and 4th spot. But the back benchers (RR, MI & RCB) have finally started to show their true colours and are now seriously threatening to oust both.

Raman: With RCB clinching this one convincingly, there will be five teams fighting for two spots. We are up for an exciting end to the league matches.

Siva: I think KXIP's strategy will be to use all their best bowling options first to delay RCB win. All they think of is to save NRR so that they don't drop below KKR and RR.

Abinash Das: KXIP are down on confidence now. That's where the attitude of Sehwag will do wonders if he can encourage them

Prateek: What lower order batsmen were thinking? Last three wickets came from run-out. They had so much time to add some more runs to their total.

Shahrukh: Imagine this, 50 runs scored of boundaries out of 88!! That's 56%!

Rutwik: If RCB chases the target within 10 overs, it will propel their NRR to positive numbers

parjeet shekhawat: Two days back close to 450 runs were scored on the same ground!!!! RCB bowling well or it has become good bowling pitch today?? - It's a combination of terrible batting, awful running and some splendid bowling

Varun: Fantasy Points A WRECK!

Jigar Gogri: If KXIP somehow get close to 120-130 then their bowlers might have a chance, but they will have to bowl exceptionally well

Harsha Bhogle: KXIP's campaign is hurtling down a slope. Need to stop this descent now.

Junaid: If RCB wins, I think it will boost their run-rate, which might play an important role if they get any chance to get into top four.

Sayaam Ali: Haven't seen too many last ball finishes this IPL. Teams usually trying to win it before the last over, or perish trying to do so. Let's hope we have a closer contest today

Sonath: The thing that frustrates me about Mayank in this season is the way in which he has got out to poor deliveries, he has thrown his wicket away each time he looks to get a start and score..

Ravi Lachireddy: Great opportunity for Mayank and Finch to stabilise the ship and get Kings a respectable total. Can he bring-on his Ranji form here?

Girish: Looks like KXIP has completely lost confidence on Mayank Agarwal by sending him too late in the order. All mammoth runs he scored in domestic season was as an opener, not in the lower order.

Krishnan: Two very capable batsmen in Stoinis and Finch, but can they handle this pressure unlike their openers?

Lohit Inguva: That drop by Parthiv is proving costly. #GayleStrom

Rohit Yadav: So MI fans will be supporting RCB tonight. MI wanting RCB to win is like a perfectly abled person taking the help of a blind man to cross the street. *With no disrespect to anyone*

Ajit: Punjab can't sustain with such a fragile middle order. If at least one out of Finch/Nair/Agarwal does not fire today, KXIP simply does not deserve to make it to the play-offs irrespective of the result.

Sakthivel: Former RCB openers up against RCB ! #GameON

Prabhat: Exactly 2 years back on this day, VK and ABD scored century against GL. Can they repeat it and keep the playoff hopes alive?
