Rajasthan Royals vs Punjab Kings Predictions
The Royals have nothing to play for, and their poor form should make them an easy target for the Punjab Kings. The Kings are in a great position to secure a top two position with a firing top-order.
- Punjab Kings’ Prabhsimran Singh hit seven sixes in his 48-ball innings of 91 against Lucknow Super Giants.
- Punjab Kings’ Shreyas Iyer has scored 25*, 72 & 45 in his last 3 innings.
- Rajasthan Royals’ Riyan Parag has scored 39, 22, 32* & 95 in his last 5 innings.
- Rajasthan Royals’ Yashasvi Jaiswal has scored 74, 49, 70* & 34 in his last 5 innings.
Head-to-Head
Rajasthan Royals have won three and lost two of their last five matches against Punjab Kings. They have also won three of those last four meetings.
Rajasthan Royals Form
The Royals suffered their seventh defeat in eight matches when they lost to the Kolkata Knight Riders by one run.
The Knight Riders made a late rally to post 206/4 off their 20 overs. Riyan Parag (1/21, econ 7.00) was the most economical of the Royals bowlers.
The Royals had three top-order batters out for ducks as they crumbled to 71/5 before 92-run stand for the sixth wicket between Riyan Parag (95 off 45 balls) and Shimron Hetmyer (29 off 23) got them back in the chase. The tail kept the scoring rate up but ended one run short with two wickets in hand.
Rajasthan Royals Team News
The Royals will be missing overseas stars Jofra Archer and Nandre Burger.
Punjab Kings Form
Punjab Kings made it four wins from their last five completed matches when they beat the Lucknow Super Giants by 37 runs.
Prabhsimran Singh hit 13 boundaries in his innings of 91 off 48 balls as the Kings racked up a monster score of 236/5 off their 20 overs.
The Super Giants recovered from 73/5 to reach 199/7 off their 20 overs. Arshdeep Singh (3/16, econ 4.00) bowled magnificently, while most of his team-mates took a pounding with the ball.
Punjab Kings Team News
The Kings will have to play without Josh Inglis and Marcus Stoinis, both of whom are still in transit returning to India. They are expected to be available for the Kings’ final league match, with the Kings a strong candidate to qualify for the playoffs.
Verdict
I am backing Punjab Kings to win. I am also backing Prabhsimran Singh to top score for Punjab Kings.
Riyan Parag is a good bet to top score for the Rajasthan Royals.
