The 31st  match betweenKings XI Punjab vs Royal Challengers Bangalore Live Streaming will be played on 31st March 2010 at PCA Stadium, Mohali

Pitch : Hard and bouncy, the best pitch in India would give equal chance to both bowler & batsmen. Any score of less than 160 is not safe on this track. Batting 1st or 2nd won’t depend on the track, it will depend on what the team feel comfortable in doing it. Toss won’t matter a lot

Peculiar Stats

BRC: At one stage of the tournament they looked like the best and most formidable team of all the Ipl teams. The myth has been broken by DD and CSK, and with 2 back to back losses they are lined up with teams like KKR, DC and RR. The good thing for them is that they have to play against the weakest team of the IPL, and the winning momentum could be back once again.

KXIP: No one has expected them to be in the position in which they are right now. A loss here will close all the doors for reaching the semis. Their problem lies in all departments. Together they are not clicking as a unit. Now even the home crowd has started to support the other teams. From here on they have to win all their matches to remain the contenders of semis. Sangakkara would be back and that means there would be problem in selecting 4 overseas players.

Players to watch out for:

K Pieterson: The South Africa born English player, and the Switch Hit specialist, is back in the team and played a small cameo innings against the CSK but that score was not enough for BRC to win the match. He could be destructive in the slog overs along with Craig White which would help RCB to score big totals. Off late he is in good touch.
Robin Uthappa: The swashbuckling player is in top form in twenty-20 games. Somehow he has maintained a new reputation of changing the match from any given stage. His Hayden type of shots (where he walks down the track to a fast bowler) are fetching him the maximum runs. A call in t-20 world squad has already boosted his confidence.

Shaun Marsh: It seems IPL is the home tournament for him, whenever he plays he does score a lot for his team. He was flawless against the Mumbai Indians. KXIP would be hoping that he and Bopara fire at the top and one of them stays till the end of 15 overs.

Yuvraj Singh: With so many failures in the current IPL the southpaw seems to be clueless against every other team. Its hard to believe for a man who has scored 6 sixes in an over is not even able to score 6 sixes in 7 matches. He has to play well otherwise it will be all over for KXIP in this current IPL.
