IPL 2024: PBKS vs RCB, Match 58: Who said what at the toss?

Sam Curran: Going to bowl. Looks like they’ve watered the wicket a bit, might be something early on. Looking to put RCB under pressure early. With the side we’ve picked today, looking to take wickets with the new ball. Pretty simple for us now – need few results to go for us and win our remaining games. Livingstone comes in for Rabada. Our strength is our batting.

Faf du Plessis: Would’ve done the same. Been a great turnaround for us. Last few games we’ve been clinical. Focus remains the same, not too much on the table, just the way we want to play. Maxwell out for Lockie Ferguson.
