RR vs PBKS Preview

Rajasthan Royals have been performing well in the tournament, but they recently faltered, losing their last three games in a row. They have won 8 out of their 12 games and are currently placed 2nd in the standings. However, they will be without the services of their opener batter Jos Buttler, who has flown back to join the national camp. Rajasthan Royals still possess a capable batting unit with the likes of Sanju Samson, Riyan Parag, and Yashasvi Jaiswal, who will be looking to end their three-game losing streak and secure a win.

Meanwhile, Punjab Kings have already been eliminated but will aim to end their campaign on a high note as they still have two games left. They have defeated teams like KKR and CSK this season, so they can’t be taken lightly.
