Punjab Kings and Royal Challengers Bengaluru have been the topic of many a joke over the years due to their lack of an Indian Premier League (IPL). However, this season, they have arguably been two of the most complete sides in the league and are now set to face off in Qualifier 1 with a spot in the final at stake.
Head coach Ricky Ponting and captain Shreyas Iyer seem to have hit the nail on the head in their first attempt itself as the Kings made it to the playoffs for the first time in more than a decade in just their first season with the team. RCB, on the other hand, have been a fairly regular fixture in the playoffs but this is the first time since 2016 that they finished in the top two.

The average score in Mullanpur has been 173 and teams batting first have won three times out of four. It has to be said, though, that the scores here have varied quite wildly. There were three 200-plus totals in the first two matches of the season. However, we saw teams being all out for scores like 111 and 95 in the last two matches. In fact, the last match to be played in Mullanpur happens to be between these two sides itself on April 20. At the time, RCB restricted PBKS to a score of 157/6 in 20 overs and won the match by seven wickets.
