Kings XI Punjab on Thursday registered a thumping win over Royal Challengers Bangalore at the Dubai International Stadium in Dubai as they won the match by 97 runs to clinch their first win of <a href="https://www.wionews.com/ipl">Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020</a>.&nbsp;

KL Rahul was the star for KXIP with the willow as he hammered an unbeaten 132 laced with 14 boundaries and seven sixes. Rahul’s 132 not-out became the highest-ever score by an Indian cricketer in IPL and also the highest-ever score by a captain in IPL as the KXIP skipper registered the first century of IPL 2020 in style.&nbsp;

While Mayank Agarwal, Nicholas Pooran and Karun Nair played some handy knocks, it was Rahul who dominated the show as he smashed the RCB bowlers all over the park. RCB’s bowling has to be deemed as poor with the likes of Umesh Yadav and Dale Steyn spraying it all over the pitch. KXIP went on to post a mammoth target of 206/3 in 20 overs.&nbsp;

Chasing RCB, under pressure, lost opener Devdutt Padikkal for cheap before losing Joshua Philippe and Virat Kohli for duck and one respectively as Sheldon Cottrell and Mohammed Shami wreaked havoc with the new ball.&nbsp;

While Aaron Finch and AB de Villiers tried to get on with the chase, it was the spin duo of Ravi Bishnoi and Murugan Ashwin who stuck to dismiss the dangerous duo. After that it was all about saving the Net Run-Rate for RCB as Washington Sundar slammed a 27-ball 30 to take RCB over 100-run mark.&nbsp;

Nonetheless, the defeat will hurt RCB, who came into the match by defeating CSK, as their net-run-rate took a heavy beating. Whereas KXIP, who lost their first match to DC in Super Over, will look to carry forward the momentum in their next encounters in IPL 2020.

KXIP vs RCB, IPL 2020 Live Streaming: When and where to watch Kings XI Punjab vs Royal Challengers Bangalore?

Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) are set to face Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) at the Dubai International Stadium in Dubai on Thursday as the action continues in <a href="https://www.wionews.com/ipl">Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020</a> in the UAE. While KXIP started their IPL 2020 campaign with a heartbreaking defeat to Delhi Capitals in a Super Over, RCB thumped CSK by 16 runs to win their season opener against the MS Dhoni-led outfit.

The last match for KXIP was a humdinger as there was an umpiring error with the KL Rahul-led squad failing to score 1 run off the last 3 balls to take the match to the Super Over. There has been a lot of debates surrounding the square-leg umpire call of ‘one-run short’ but KXIP should move on and look to start winning their matches.&nbsp;

Whereas RCB made a stunning comeback to win their match against CSK as the likes of Devdutt Padikkal, AB de Villiers shone with the willow while Shivam Dube bowled an excellent spell to help RCB win the cliffhanger.

<h2>KXIP vs RCB: Head-to-head stats</h2>

Talking about the head-to-head stats, it is an equal. Both KXIP and RCB have won 12 matches each in their encounters. However, in the UAE, KXIP have won the sole match which they have played against RCB. However, in the last five clashes, RCB have come out strong to win four games.

<h2>Dew factor</h2>

With the dew factor coming into play, chasing has become a norm after winning the toss and that is likely to continue even today in Dubai. A score of 160-170 is expected given the larger boundaries in Dubai, however, if batters can get it going then both the teams have the firepower to attain 200-run mark.&nbsp;

Royal Challengers Bangalore Squad: Devdutt Padikkal, Aaron Finch, Virat Kohli(c), AB de Villiers, Shivam Dube, Josh Philippe(w), Washington Sundar, Navdeep Saini, Umesh Yadav, Dale Steyn, Yuzvendra Chahal, Parthiv Patel, Isuru Udana, Moeen Ali, Pawan Negi, Gurkeerat Singh Mann, Chris Morris, Adam Zampa, Pavan Deshpande, Mohammed Siraj, Shahbaz Ahmed
