On April 13, Rajasthan Royals will face off against Punjab Kings at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur for the 27th match of the Indian Premier League 2024.
Punjab Kings are in a challenging situation following a close defeat against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in their previous match. Despite a strong effort during the final overs, they fell short by two runs in their pursuit of 182. With three losses in five matches, PBKS is currently in the bottom half of the points table. The batting lineup needs to find more consistent performance, particularly from players like Shikhar Dhawan and Jonny Bairstow, who need to return to form.
The Royals have a strong position on the points table with four wins in five matches. Although they faced a loss in their last game against Gujarat Titans, they will aim to rebound in the coming game. Riyan Parag and Sanju Samson impressed with their aggressive batting against the GT bowlers, while Kuldeep Sen claimed three early wickets.
In the 26 matches played between Rajasthan Royals and Punjab Kings, the Royals have won 15 times, while Punjab Kings have secured victory on 11 occasions.
