RR vs PBKS: Match Details

Match: RR vs PBKS 65th Match (Indian Premier League 2024) 

Date: Wednesday, May 15, 2024

Time: 7:30 PM

Venue: Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati

RR vs PBKS: Head-to-Head

The Punjab Kings and Rajasthan Royals have played each other in 27 Indian Premier League games since 2008. In their head-to-head record, the Royals have defeated the Kings 16 times to 11.

RR vs PBKS: Match Overview

After PBKS gave RR a serious scare at Mullanpur, RR won an exciting match in the last over. With one ball left, Shimron Hetmyer helped the team cross the finish line, but RR needed help chasing 148. Ashutosh Sharma’s cameo on Saturday enabled PBKS to reach 147 in 20 overs against a disciplined RR bowling unit.

RR elected to field against a PBKS team without captain Shikhar Dhawan after winning the toss. Rashid Khan’s daring attack allowed Gujarat Titans to win a match on the final ball, depriving the Royals of a fantastic chance to win five straight games and secure their top spot in the standings.

Key Players

Shikhar Dhawan’s team has had a mixed record with two victories and three losses thus far in the tournament. Punjab’s poor season is primarily due to the inconsistent play of their star hitters, as they rely on cameos from uncapped players like Ashutosh Sharma and Shashank Singh to bolster their batting.

The bold player Yashasvi Jaiswal has shown a terrible lack of form in the IPL 2024, failing to score 25 runs. Arshdeep Singh would be facing the southpaw in the power playovers. In four IPL matches, Arshdeep has removed Jaiswal twice while conceding just 15 runs off of the same number of balls. With an average run cost of 7.5, the left-arm bowler has four power play wickets this season.

The RR captain, Sanju Samson has been enjoying himself this season by hitting some runs. Samson has amassed 264 runs at a strike average of 155.29, and he has been instrumental in the Rajasthan Royals’ triumph. The gifted batter-wicketkeeper may face Kagiso Rabada in the following game. In contrast, Rabada has claimed seven wickets so far this season.

RR vs PBKS: Pitch Report

The Guwahati Barsapara Cricket Stadium features a batting-friendly surface for white-ball cricket. The second inning is expected to see the beginning of dew and the pitch will offer very little help to the bowlers. As such, it has a patchy impact on the game’s dynamics, emphasizing favorable conditions for hitters.

RR vs PBKS: Weather Report

On Wednesday, May 15, 2024, the temperature is predicted to be 37° with a chance of thunderstorms in the morning. The rest of the day will be partly sunny and warm. There will be a 12 km/h wind speed. There is a 43% chance of precipitation and a 27% chance of thunderstorms. It’s also predicted to rain 2.0 mm.

RR vs PBKS: Toss Prediction

The pitch has been incredibly effective in terms of runs scored. Getting the wicket is easy early in the game. This facilitates batters’ ability to produce their signature swings. Because bowlers prefer to bowl in the second innings, the team that wins the toss will almost certainly start the batting innings.

Best bowler: Trent Boult (RR), Arshdeep Singh (PBKS)
