RR vs PBKS Match Preview

Rajasthan Royals will be looking to bounce back and book their playoffs berth when they walk on the field to face Punjab Kings at their second home venue Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati.  

The Royals, who started on a high note with 8 wins after first 9 nine games, faced defeats in their last 3, but still in contention for the playoffs, and a win will hand them a ticket.  

Punjab Kings again followed the same script and left out from the playoffs for the 10th successive season.  

While they are already eliminated and some of their English players will also miss the game due to international duties, it will be a challenger for the Kings against Royals.  

Both teams have a record of last over thrillers most of the time they meet in IPL, fans are expecting the same this time around.

Playoffs qualification scenarios for Rajasthan Royals  

One win in their remaining two games will hand the Royals a ticket to the playoffs. While, they have a chance to finish inside top-2 as well.  

At first, they need to win both of their remaining games which will take them to 20 points.  

Secondly, if they won only one and ended up at 18 points, they must watch SRH’s play. If SRH won both their left matches, they can overtake RR due to better run-rate, but if they won just one, RR would advance as the second-placed team.
