RCB vs PBKS, IPL Toss Result: Today's match players list, teams & umpires for Match 60
Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will take on Punjab Kings (PBKS) in match number 60 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai on Friday. The match is significant for both teams, as they look to keep their playoff hopes alive.
Bangalore have 14 points from 12 games and are fourth in the points table. However, their last game in the league stage is against Gujarat Titans (GT). So, they would want to beat Punjab and do that by a big margin to give their net run rate a boost.
Punjab, meanwhile, have played one game less than RCB. However, they have only ten points from 11 game. They will have to win all their remaining three games to have a decent chance of finishing in the top four. A loss on Friday could more or less seal their fate in the tournament.
Today's IPL toss result
Royal Challengers Bangalore have won the toss and have opted to bowl first. Speaking about the decision, captain Faf du Plessis said:
“ The trend in the competition suggests that the wickets are getting better; toss isn't making much of a difference. Not quite sure what the pitch is going to do, so we'll have a look in the first few overs.”
