IPL 2017: Struggling Royal Challengers Bangalore to face Rising Pune Supergiant

Pune: Royal Challengers Bangalore will be striving to keep their IPL hopes alive when they meet an equally inconsistent Rising Pune Supergiant in an Indian Premier League encounter, on Saturday.

Current India captain Virat Kohli’s team has lost six out of their nine games and are second-last on the table with five points in their kitty. For RCB, a defeat will mean that the tournament will be as good as over. They still have slim hopes if they can win all their remaining five games and hope for some favourable results from the other games.

Rising Pune Supergiant are slightly better off with eight points from eight games with four wins in their kitty. But even RPS has been inconsistent at one level. They have been good on certain days and very ordinary on other days.
