RR Vs PBKS IPL 2024: Match Prediction And Playing 11 For Rajasthan Royals Vs Punjab Kings

RR vs PBKS IPL 2024 Prediction & Playing 11: Rajasthan Royals will aim to secure their playoff spot as they face the bottom-placed Punjab Kings in Match 65 of IPL 2024 on Wednesday, May 15.

This match marks the first of two home games for RR at the Barsapara Stadium in Guwahati.

With 16 points from 12 matches, the Royals are yet to confirm their playoff berth. They are currently second in the table, but a series of three losses has disrupted their momentum ahead of this crucial encounter. Although Punjab Kings are out of the tournament, they will look to finish strong and potentially unsettle the Royals with a win, which would also lift them from the bottom spot.

Rajasthan Royals will be without Jos Buttler, who has departed for England duties. It remains to be seen if they make any other changes for this important match. Rovman Powell and Keshav Maharaj are likely to return as RR strive to secure playoff qualification. Tom Kohler-Cadmore is expected to open the innings alongside Yashasvi Jaiswal.

For Punjab Kings, Liam Livingstone has left for international commitments. Shikhar Dhawan may return for this clash, and PBKS might make additional changes to give fringe players an opportunity to demonstrate their skills. It has been another disappointing season for the Kings, who will need to strategise for the upcoming mega auction.

RR Probable XI: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Tom Kohler-Cadmore, Sanju Samson (c & wk), Riyan Parag, Shubham Dubey, Rovman Powell, Dhruv Jurel, Keshav Maharaj, Trent Boult, Avesh Khan, Yuzvendra Chahal

RR Impact Player: Sandeep Sharma
