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.
