My Prediction
Royal Challengers Bengaluru to winThe stage is set, my friends – no, it's hovering in mid-air! The grand finale is here. So, it's the Royal Challengers Bengaluru squaring against the Punjab Kings, two titans waiting to bash up each other. This is less cricket, more modern-day gladiators fighting to the death. Well, no death, just some bruised egos.
Last five encounters between the two, it’s Bengaluru that comes out on the top. It's 3-2 in their favor. Now, don't see that just as numbers, see that as slaps. In your face type slaps. On a roll these Bengaluru lads!
Both the Punjab Kings and Bengaluru have tied with 9-4 win-loss record in the regular season. That's like twins separated at birth and turn out to be equally talented. Creepy, isn't it?
And the recent results for both the teams have been quite a sensation, innings with runs high as my blood pressure. Punjab tasted defeat at the hands of Bengaluru in their recent match. Probably still too sour for them to forget.
And to the league position, Punjab Kings are perched at the top, enjoying the view, while Bengaluru is breathing down their necks at #2. Close, boys, too close.
But before you jump to your decision, remember, number one isn't always the best, it's just the one before two. And if history has shown us anything, it's that Bengaluru knows how to roar, especially when cornered.
So, here you have it. Time for my divine divination here:
