Rajasthan Royals will take on Kings X1 Punjab at Sharjah Cricket Stadium. Both teams have won their last match and will take the field with a lot more confidence. Sharjah ground has shorter boundaries and on basis of what happened in the last match, we are in for another high scoring match. Rajasthan would like to welcome back Jos Butler who would provide them with the impetus at top. Miller looks most likely to make way for him, although he was unfortunate on being run out for a diamond duck. Rest they will go with the same players.

RR would hope that the top order would continue the good work of the last match and would like to see bit more runs from the lower middle order. Bowling lead by Jofra & Co will look to take early and middle-order wickets to put pressure on King’s team. Kings X1 would also like to take the confidence of the last match and hope that top 5 would act together and put pressure on Royals bowlers. Their bowling which has looked penetrative for now would like to continue the good work.
Spinners have also been spot on till now with young Bishnoi looking very accurate and also one with a big heart. The contest might be decided on basis of which team hits more sixes. In the last match total of 416 runs were scored so we can expect another run feast. Sanju Samson who was hitting sixes at will would also like to keep performing so that a strong IPL season will open Indian team entry doors for him. Pooran who has not had a good IPL so far will be eager to prove a point. Tomorrow’s match will be the captaincy test for Rahul as well.
When his bowlers will be hit how will he react and what decisions he would take will also be a factor which indicates Punjab’s journey in this IPL. Looking at firepower of both teams Kings X1 looks slight favourites.
