The playoff race is getting heated up with each passing day of the backend matches in this year’s IPL. Tonight, Kings XI Punjab will take on Rajasthan Royals in Abu Dhabi. It is a must-win game for both the teams. Neither of them can afford a loss. Punjab can mathematically qualify even if they lose this game and win the last one. However, they wouldn’t want to take such a risk.
In the last match between these two teams this season, Rajasthan Royals pulled off a massive chase to win the match. Rahul Tewatia shined in that match and had become a talk of the nation. Rajasthan will be planning to pull off such a victory in this game as well. They won their last match against Mumbai Indian chasing a target of 196. Ben Stokes’ return to the form is a good factor for RR. The good form of Jofra Archer, Sanju Samson and Jos Buttler make them a strong side in this game.
After six straight losses, Kings XI Punjab registered five wins in a row. It was a complete turnaround for the teams and all of a sudden, it looks like a mighty side to beat. Everyone is in great form and the way Punjab is winning the matches show us how confident they have become. If he is recovered from the injury, we may see Mayank Agarwal replacing Mandeep Singh.
Venue: Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi
Time: 7.30 PM IST
