In the IPL 2024, Punjab Kings and Rajasthan Royals will square off in the 27th game. On April 13, the match will take place at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur, Chandigarh. It is scheduled to begin at 7:30 PM IST.
The preceding game saw Punjab Kings and Rajasthan Royals suffer heartbreaking losses to Sunrisers Hyderabad and Gujarat Titans, respectively. The heroes of Punjab’s victory over Gujarat Titans, Shashank Singh, and Ashutosh Sharma, saved the team from disaster once more and nearly delivered an incredible win, but SRH prevailed by two runs.
Like this, the Rajasthan Royals looked certain to win until Rashid Khan and Rahul Tewatia turned the bowling assault on its head and scored 73 runs in the final five overs to secure an outstanding victory.
With four victories in five games, the Royals have maintained their top spot in the standings, while the Kings, with two victories and three losses in five games, are languishing in eighth place.
A left-heavy bowling attack, Punjab Kings bowlers haven’t been able to dictate terms with the ball in hand. Except for Rabada and Arshdeep, other bowlers are not able to run through the opposition batting order and find themselves in the hitting zone.
Punjab was behind for the whole of the match against Gujarat Titans. Still, a masterful rearguard action and brilliant hitting from the lower order, particularly Shashank Singh and Ashutosh Rana, helped Punjab clinch a remarkable triumph. In the next game, the pair came together and produced another incredible win against Sunrisers Hyderabad but lost by a score of two runs. where winning was completely impossible.
The upper middle order is under tremendous pressure since the top order is unable to provide the team with soaring starts during the powerplay. Dhawan needs to score runs more frequently, as he does tend to fade in the middle overs. To create a foundation for Shashank and Ashutosh to launch from in the last overs, Sikandar Raza and Jitesh Sharma must do well at bat.
The Punjab Kings’ left-heavy bowling assault hasn’t allowed its bowlers to control terms when the ball is in play. Except for Arshdeep and Rabada, bowlers cannot get inside the striking zone by running through the opposition batting order.
Punjab Kings Squads
Shikhar Dhawan (c), Jitesh Sharma (wk), Jonny Bairstow, Ashutosh Sharma, Shashank Singh, Sam Curran, Sikandar Raza, Harshal Patel, Harpreet Brar, Kagiso Rabada, Arshdeep Singh, and Prabhsimran Singh (Impact Player).
The Rajasthan Royals won four games in a row to start the season. Rashid Khan and Rahul Tewatia pulled off an incredible recovery in the last overs to push Gujarat Titans over the finish line and hand the Royals their first loss of the season, otherwise, it would have been five in a row. Keshav Maharaj replaced Nandre Burger, who was forced to miss the final game, forming a spin three with Ashwin and Chahal.
Maharaj, who was called up at the last minute from the Lucknow camp to make his Royals debut, was unable to make a significant influence on the match. Ashwin too failed to secure any wickets during his four-over stint, conceding 40 runs. Ashwin’s ball-handling record, which stands at 1 wicket in 5 games, is a big worry for the Royals heading into this encounter.
In his maiden game of the season, Kuldeep Sen made an impression by bowling quickly to challenge the GT batsmen and end with three wickets. Jaiswal and Buttler failed once more with the bat. Samson and Parag were forced to intervene and perform the rescue act following yet another top-order failure. They lifted the Royals above the safety of a par total with a third-wicket partnership of 130 runs.
Rajasthan Royals Squads
Sanju Samson (c & wk), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Dhruv Jurel, Jos Buttler, Riyan Parag, Shimron Hetmyer, Trent Boult, Ravichandran Ashwin, Avesh Khan, Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Sen, and Nandre Burger (Impact Player).
