Rajasthan vs Punjab on May 15
Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) are set to clash in the 2024 Indian Premier League (IPL) Match 65. The two are scheduled to meet at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati, Assam, on Wednesday (May 15). The match is of no significance for PBKS, who have already been eliminated from the playoff race. Meanwhile, the Royals need one more win to secure their place in the knockout stages. Sanju Samson and Co. have now lost three matches in a row but are still sitting comfortably second on the points table, thanks to a solid start to the campaign. Although the recent form doesn't bode well for RR, they did beat PBKS when the two teams met earlier this season. They won a low-scoring encounter at Mullanpur, Chandigarh, by three wickets. It's all over for Punjab despite two games remaining in the league stage. They are currently at the bottom of the points table with 8 points. Even if they win the remaining two matches, they can only get a maximum of 12 points. The minimum cut-off point for playoff qualification is 14.
Best economical pick – Punjab Kings’ Harshal Patel could be the best bowler in the upcoming game against Rajasthan Royals. With 17 wickets in his last 10 matches, Harshal Patel has been in exceptional form and is one of the best-performing bowlers of the tournament. His showing against Rajasthan Royals could be crucial.
Top captains & vice captains – Rajasthan Royals’ Sanju Samson could be the best batter in the upcoming game against Punjab. With 389 runs in his last 10 matches, Samson has been one of Royals’ highest run-getters in the IPL 2024, and his knock could be crucial for the side in the upcoming clash. Jonny Bairstow has had an inconsistent run so far but the Englishman is dangerous when he finds his rhythm. The PBKS wicketkeeper can score huge runs at an astounding strike rate.
Smart pick – Sandeep Sharma will probably join the team as an impact player. He is RR's most reliable bowler in the death overs due to his ability to maintain composure despite scoreboard pressure.
Cautious Pick – Dhruv Jurel has failed to live up to expectations this season. Batting in the middle order, he often plays a brief cameo role but doesn't help the team much.
My XI – Sanju Samson (Captain), Jonny Bairstow (Vice-Captain), Sandeep Sharma, Harshal Patel, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sam Curran, Riyan Parag, Shashank Singh, Y Chahal, Trent Boult, Liam Livingstone
