PBKS vs RR: Match Preview

Punjab has made a strong comeback

Punjab is back on a winning path led by skipper Mayank Agarwal. After defeating Chennai Super Kings and knocking them out of the tournament, Punjab also chased the target given by table topper Gujarat in 16 overs.

Although GT did not make much difference to this defeat, but a big win must have boosted the enthusiasm of the PBKS players. The architects of the victory were the bowlers of Punjab. He will be expected to bowl against Rajasthan too.

The biggest problem for Punjab is the poor performance of their captain Mayank. Liam Livingstone has made the record for the longest six of the season by hitting a huge six of 117 meters. Another strong performance will defiantly take the team ahead.

Rajasthan captain will have to perform

Rajasthan Royals is definitely present in the top 4 but its performance has seen a decline. Apart from Jos Buttler, no batsman took the responsibility of scoring during the defeat against Kolkata Knight Riders. If the team is not able to set a big target despite Butler's 67, then it is an alarm bell for Rajasthan.

Sanju Samson is one of the most talented players of Indian cricket. But he has to win matches with his performance. There have been sporadic runs in some innings from Sanju's bat but the big innings have been missing so far.
