KXIP vs RR Prediction & Betting Tips, IPL 2020
Kings XI Punjab will take on Rajasthan Royals in the 50th match of the Indian Premier League. The match will be played on the Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi and is scheduled to begin at 6:00 PM local time
Kings XI Punjab and Rajasthan Royals battle for a place in the playoff in a crucial encounter. The game stands of utmost importance for both teams but for Rajasthan, it’s a do or die situation as a loss with knock them out of the competition. They face a stern challenge from Kings XI Punjab who has turned things around in the most dramatic way, winning all of their last 5 matches. A win for Punjab will get them to 14 points, tied with RCB and DC. Rajasthan pulled off a miraculous victory against Mumbai Indians but beating Punjab won’t be that easy. Punjab’s batting is on fire in the tournament. Earlier, the issue for Punjab was their over dependence on KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal but now, with Gayle and Mandeep Singh performing, it has become a ruthless batting line up. In the bowling department, Mohammed Shami has been the nemesis for the opposition while Chris Jorden and Ravi Bishnoi have provided ample support to him. Overall, Punjab looks very strong contender to win this match. Rajasthan on the other hand themself boasts of a decent batting line up. Ben Stokes is coming back from a breath taking hundred against Mumbai while Steve Smith and Sanju Samson have given signs of a return back to form. Buttler too played a brilliant innings against CSK the other day. The problem for Rajasthan is their bowling which is too much dependent on Jofra Archer. Shreyas Gopal has been good but Rajasthan need a strong performance from all their other bowlers to restrict Punjab. As of now, Punjab are likely to continue their juggernaut.
