Punjab Kings vs Rajasthan Royals Team Preview
Punjab Kings
On Wednesday, the Punjab Kings were defeated by a score of 411 runs. If they want to win this game, they will need their bowling assault to be in greater form.
Although they were defeated by the Delhi Capitals (DC) on Wednesday, the Kings put together an excellent performance. Despite their difficulties with the ball, they had their best bowlers in the XI, and we do not expect many changes ahead of this encounter.
Rajasthan Royals
In the previous game, Rajasthan Royals were crushed by Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and bowled out for the third-lowest IPL total in history. However, they have some real batting potential, and if they perform well, they should be able to win.
In the previous game, Australian spinner Adam Zampa replaced Trent Boult, who was unavailable due to injury. Zampa could be named again in this game owing to his excellent form and the pitch’s preference for pace-off bowlers.
