RR vs PBKS: Rajasthan Royals (RR) will face Punjab Kings (PBKS) in Match 65 of IPL 2024. The game is scheduled at Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati on May 15, Wednesday at 7:30 PM (IST).

The Royals have officially become the second team to secure a spot in the IPL 2024 playoffs after Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). RR qualified following Delhi Capitals' (DC) victory over Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) by 19 runs in their last home game of the season in Delhi. Sanju Samson and his team are now aiming for a top-two finish.

Conversely, PBKS, who are at the bottom of the points table, have already been eliminated from the playoffs race. In their previous encounter, RR triumphed over PBKS by three wickets. Here are four batters who could score the most runs in Match 65.

Jaiswal is expected to perform well against the Mohali-based franchise on a batting-friendly surface. Although he hasn't consistently operated at his best this season, he has shown promise. Jaiswal has scored 344 runs in 12 games, including a century and a fifty.

Bairstow has struggled to deliver for PBKS this season. The right-handed batter has scored 284 runs in 10 games, including a century. He managed only 15 off 19 balls against RR in their previous match and will be looking to improve this time.

3. Shimron Hetmyer

Hetmyer made a crucial contribution for the Royals in their last match against PBKS in Chandigarh. Under pressure during the run-chase, he scored an unbeaten 27 off 10 balls, hitting one four and three sixes to secure a win with one ball remaining.

4. Shashank Singh

Shashank has been instrumental with his hard-hitting abilities, guiding his team to victories single-handedly. He is one of the key players to watch in the upcoming game. Shashank has scored 352 runs in 12 games at an average of 58.67 and a strike rate of 168.42, including two fifties.
