PBKS Team News & Playing 11

KXIP Team News

Kings XI Punjab made as many as four changes to their side for the last game against Royal Challengers Bangalore. One of those was a forced change as they brought Andrew Tye in place of Hardus Viljoen who missed the last game due to flu. KXIP also replaced David Miller, Karun Nair and Ankit Rajpoot by Nicholas Pooran, Mayank Agarwal and Murugan Ashwin respectively. Viljoen could be brought back if he recovers in time. No further changes are expected for the hosts.

KXIP Key Players

Chris Gayle and KL Rahul are going great guns for the Kings XI Punjab this IPL and this opening pair holds the key to their batting. Rahul is the tournament's second-leading run-getter with 335 runs followed by Gayle who is not far behind with 322 runs. Gayle is coming off an unbeaten 64-ball 99 against Royal Challengers Bangalore and he even cracked 79 off 47 balls in the reverse encounter. Mayank Agarwal and Sam Curran can also inflict a fair amount of damage on the Royals with their big-hitting. Mohammed Shami and skipper Ravichandran Ashwin have been impressive with the ball so far and they are the main weapons for KXIP when it comes to bowling. While Shami has taken 10 wickets at an economy of 8.78, Ashwin has nine at 7.62. The skipper had returned economical figures in the earlier clash against the Royals who could again find it difficult to score off him.

KXIP Recent Form

Kings XI Punjab, after two consecutive defeats against Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bangalore respectively, have slipped to the fifth spot on the IPL 2019 points table. They now have four wins and as many losses from eight matches. KXIP have been impressive with the bat on the previous two occasions, putting up 173 and 197 on the scoreboard while batting first. The same cannot be said about their bowling though as they failed to defend those big totals.

RR Team News & Playing 11

RR Team News

Ben Stokes sat out the previous game against Mumbai Indians due to a hip injury and was replaced by compatriot Liam Livingstone. Rajasthan Royals also dropped leg-spinner Riyan Parag for off-spinner Krishnappa Gowtham. The latter returned expensive figures at the Wankhede and it will be interesting to see whether the Royals give him another opportunity or bring back Parag for this upcoming clash against the Kings XI Punjab. Stokes, however, will certainly slot back into the playing eleven straight away if he recovers from his injury.

RR Key Players

Jos Buttler has returned to form with a magnificent knock of 89 from 43 balls in the last game against the Mumbai Indians. The opener has scored the most runs for the Royals this IPL season and has smashed three half-centuries, one of which came against KXIP in the reverse encounter. While Buttler forms the heart of this batting line-up, Steven Smith and Sanju Samson are the others to watch out for. Samson is averaging a little over 44 and is having a strike-rate of 145. Shreyas Gopal, Jofra Archer and Jaydev Unadkat are the go-to options for Rajasthan Royals in terms of bowling. Gopal has been the standout with 8 wickets in 7 matches at a healthy economy of 6.41 and the leg-spinner is more likely to cause problems for the KXIP batsmen. Archer claimed a three-wicket haul in the last game against Mumbai Indians and he will be expected to do some early damage in the powerplay.

RR Recent Form

Rajasthan Royals have managed to revive their campaign with a four-wicket win over Mumbai Indians in their last game. They are currently lying in the seventh place on the IPL 2019 leaderboard with two wins and five defeats from seven matches. Prior to that game against MI, the Royals had suffered back-to-back defeats against Kolkata Knight Riders and Chennai Super Kings respectively. They did a good job with the bat last time, pulling off a challenging run-chase.

RR Predicted Playing 11

Ajinkya Rahane (c), Jos Buttler, Sanju Samson (wk), Steven Smith, Rahul Tripathi, Liam Livingstone/Ben Stokes, Shreyas Gopal, Krishnappa Gowtham, Jofra Archer, Jaydev Unadkat, Dhawal Kulkarni

­KXIP vs RR Prediction

Kings XI Punjab had started off well this year but have just begun to lose their way a little bit. After a heartbreaking loss against the Mumbai Indians, they received a thrashing at the hands of Royal Challengers Bangalore in their last game. They do have the home advantage in their favor though and they even beat Rajasthan Royals at this venue last year. However, their bowling is not looking quite up to the mark at the moment and their batting seems to be heavily reliant on Chris Gayle and Lokesh Rahul.

Rajasthan Royals, on the other hand, are coming off a win against the Mumbai Indians and have gained momentum which is so crucial in the T20 format. And unlike the hosts, they have more quality and experience in their middle-order batting. Plus, the likes of Shreyas Gopal, Jofra Archer and Dhawal Kulkarni have done a fine job with the ball in the past few games. The Royals will be hungry for two more points and we expect them to improve their position in the league standings.
