IPL 2019: Predicting where each of the 8 franchises will finish on the points table 

#6 Royal Challengers Bangalore

Royal Challengers Bangalore is amongst the most popular franchises which has an extremely dedicated fan base. They would definitely be disappointed with their team being placed at 6th in the list, but there are reasons for it.

Bangalore has a brilliant batting line-up at its disposal yet again with the likes of Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers and Shimron Hetmyer. The batting line-up is amongst the strongest and the spin attack too looks pretty good.

The problem this year as well is similar to the one the team has faced for several years. Lack of a genuine death bowler and the absence of a quality foreign pacer is their biggest problem this year as well.

Umesh Yadav and Mohammed Siraj have leaked way too many runs in the death overs and this has been the main reason for the team's poor performance last year.

Nathan Coulter-Nile, who in all likelihood will be the team's overseas fast bowler too will leave the team in April which will affect the team's chances severely.
