Two franchises who are yet to lift the Indian T20 League trophy meet in the third match of the 15th edition. Punjab had an outing to forget last time around, finishing sixth with just 12 points. Meanwhile, three-time finalists Bangalore suffered defeat at the hands of Kolkata in the eliminator.
Here's a look at some of the exciting First Games fantasy cricket Match-Ups from the Punjab-Bangalore match.
V Kohlii vs S Dhawan
The biggest Match-Up on Sunday pits V Kohlii against Shikhar Dhawan. The ex-Bangalore captain hit a fifty in his last T20 outing, while Dhawan hasn't played a lot of 20-over cricket since the 2021 season. Kohlii is most likely to win the battle against his India teammate.
