The Sharjah Cricket Stadium will host another exciting match in IPL 2021 when the Royal Challengers Bangalore lock horns with the Punjab Kings on Sunday. Neither RCB nor PBKS have booked a spot in the playoffs, which is why the upcoming match is very important for both sides.

Both teams come into this clash on the back of a confidence-boosting win. While PBKS beat Kolkata Knight Riders in a last-over thriller, RCB recorded a comfortable win against the Rajasthan Royals.

It will be interesting to see which team comes out on top at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium tomorrow. On that note, here are some important stats you need to know from previous T20 matches played at this stadium:
