The Royal Challengers Bengaluru franchise is one of the most followed IPL teams. They have a significant amount of following in the league, despite the fact that they had never won the trophy till date.
And finally, things are looking positive for this team as they are just one step away from winning the league this year.
After having reached the finale by beating Punjab in the first qualifier, Bengaluru looks to be the more composed and better suited side for the league this year.
After having beaten Punjab already in the opening qualifier, Bengaluru will be extremely confident of repeating this feat again in the finale. Even on paper, Punjab looks a bit inferior to Bengaluru, which is mainly due to the composition.
If we take out, Priyansh Arya and Shreyas Iyer, there is nothing to look forward to the batting lineup of Punjab, which is the real cause of concern here. They are loaded at the top of the order and are very weak at the bottom.
And when we come to Bengaluru, the situation is exact opposite. Their top order looks a bit shaky and slow paced while the middle order is where the majority of the work is being done.
And considering the pitch conditions in Ahmedabad, Bengaluru looks to have a better balanced attack with Bhubaneswar Kumar, Hazelwood, Krunal Pandya and others.
It appears that Bengaluru is promising to be the better of the two teams. But at the end of the day, Cricket is a game of probability and possibility, so Punjab will also stand a real chance if they can put up a good fight in the game.
