Punjab Kings currently reside in eighth place with 8 points from 11 matches in the points table. Their remarkable world record for the highest successful run chase in the T20 format chasing the target of 262 runs against Kolkata Knight Riders, was followed by another thumping win over Chennai Super Kings. However, in the second encounter Ruturaj Gaikwad's exacted revenge, handing Sam Curran's side a 28-run defeat. Now, PBKS must win all their remaining matches as they dream to earn a berth in the knockout stage.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru no doubt staged one of the strongest comebacks in IPL, securing three consecutive victories after prolonged winless run this season. These back-to-back triumphs not only reignited their playoff hopes but also propelled Faf du Plessis' side from the bottom to the seventh position in the IPL 2024 standings. Just like PBKS, they too will need to win their remaining three matches in order to secure 14 points, and a spot in the playoffs.
