In the 25th match of DLF IPL 2012, Royal Challengers Bangalore will take on Kings XI Punjab at the Punjab Cricket Association Stadium. Both teams are at the lower half of the points table as they have won 2 of their five matches played so far. Kings XI Punjab would wish to forget the humiliating defeat which they suffered at the hands of KKR in the last match and thus will look for a win to boost the morale of the team. On the other hand, RCB won the last match against Pune Warriors and will be looking to continue with the momentum

Kings XI Punjab are suffering from flop show by their batsmen and would be hoping that their batsmen come in form as soon as possible. The top order has failed to give a flying start and whether Gilchrist will play today’s match is still a mystery.

RCB are relying on Chris Gayle and AB de Villiers to bail their team out of problem and will be hoping that other stars like Virat Kohli soon join the party and the team can improve its point’s tally.

Also these two teams have played 8 matches so far and both have won 4-4 each, thus cricket fans can expect a totally balanced encounter today.
