IPL 2016: 5 reasons why Royal Challengers Bangalore will win the tournament

3. Bowling finally finding its groove

Shane Watson has led the bowling attack admirably well

Halfway down the tournament, no one could have predicted that two Bangalore bowlers will feature in the top 3 of the list of highest wicket-takers. In fact, much of the blame for Bangalore’s poor start to the campaign was poured on the shoulders of their weak bowling attack who collectively failed to defend massive totals racked up by their batsmen.

But luckily for RCB, the bowling is finally coming good at the business end of the tournament. Watson and Chahal have been ably supported by Chris Jordan, Iqbal Abdulla and S Aravind in the last few matches. The names may still not match those in their batting, but they’ve performed commendably well as a unit.
