( Full Coverage | More Cricket News)
RCB led by Faf du Plessis batting first set a target of 174 runs for the defending champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK), which was chased down in just 18.4 overs under the spectacular debut captaincy of Ruturaj Gaikwad. The match was disappointing for the batting maestro Virat Kohli who was dismissed by Mustafizur Rahman at just 20 off 21 balls. Rahman's spell of 4 wickets rattled RCB completely.

Besides, MS Dhoni's magical wicketkeeping dismissed Glenn Maxwell and Rajat Patidar at 0 runs, turning all the fortunes in CSK's side. However, Anuj Rawat's 48 off 25 balls and Dinesh Karthik's unbeaten 38 off 26 balls helped to extend the score to 173/6.
On the other hand, Punjab Kings, defying all odds, secured the glory of winning their first match of the 2024 IPL season. Shikhar Dhawan's side defeated Delhi Capitals led by Rishabh Pant by 4 wickets chasing the target of 175 runs showcasing the stellar batting of Sam Curran whose 63 off 47 balls already set the victory stage for the Kings.

Additionally, Liam Livingstone's unbeaten 38 runs off 21 balls further contributed to the team's success, ultimately leading them to win the match with a score of 177 runs in 19.2 overs.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Punjab Kings have clashed against each other 31 times previously in the Indian Premier League's history. The Kings have emerged victorious in 17 of them whereas the Challengers won only 14 games. According to the stats, Dhawan's side has a higher chance of winning Monday's match. However, the Plessis' team is determined to avoid consecutive losses, and that's what makes the match uncertain and even more thrilling.
