Punjab Kings: The Mayank Agarwal-led side will look to continue its winning form. They will be high on confidence after defeating table-toppers Gujarat Titans in the preceding game. Kagiso Rabada has been among wickets for the side, while Arshdeep Singh has done well to choke the batsmen for runs. The likes of Sandeep Sharma and Rishi Dhawan have also been impressive. In batting, Jonny Bairstow is still struggling for his form, while Bhanuka Rajapaksa continues to play crucial cameos for the team. Shikhar Dhawan and Liam Livingstone got runs under their belt in the previous game, but a power-packed batting top-order means that skipper Agarwal had to demote himself.
Rajasthan Royals: The side has lost two consecutive matches. Batting has been their main concern. While Jos Buttler continued his red-hot form, Devdutt Padikkal failed to live up to the expectations. Sanju Samson hit a fifty in the side’s most recent loss against Kolkata Knight Riders, but it came really slow. Additionally, the side also needs to give a proper batting position to Shimron Hetmyer. In the bowling front, Trent Boult and Yuzvendra Chahal have been really impressive, while the likes of Prasidh Krishna and Ravichandran Ashwin have ebbed and flowed.
Both Punjab Kings and Rajasthan Royals have played 23 matches against each other so far. Rajasthan have won 13 of them, while Punjab won 10. They will be facing each other for the first time in IPL 2022.
