IPL 2020 | Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Kings XI Punjab: Fantasy team picks for the match

The Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) will take on the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium on October 15. While this will be the eighth match of the 2020 Indian Premier League (IPL) season for both sides, they find themselves in contrasting situations.

KL Rahul’s KXIP are at the bottom of the points table having secured just one win in their seven matches so far. On the other hand, Virat Kohli’s RCB have won five of their seven matches and are currently placed third. A win tonight will let Bangalore climb to the top of the table, or at least surpass Mumbai – depending on the net run rate.

But incidentally, KXIP's lone win this season has come against RCB in their fixture’s first leg.

The match will begin at 7.30 pm Indian Standard Time (IST).
