Punjab Kings find themselves in unfamiliar territory, having reached the play-offs stage for the first time since 2014, but they are not carrying the baggage of the past performances in the Iyer-Ricky Ponting (head coach) era.
RCB, on the other hand, are way too familiar with the heartbreaks of the knock-out stages and, like every season, are hoping to end their title drought. In their own words, the job is only half done for both title contenders.
