Preview

Punjab Kings will host Rajasthan Royals in Match 27 of the Indian Premier League 2024. Both teams are coming off defeats. They will aim to bounce back when they face each other at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur in Chandigarh on Saturday, April 13.

The visitors lost their first match of the season, as Gujarat Titans (GT) beat them by three wickets in a last-ball thriller. However, they still rule the points table with eight points. On the other hand, PBKS are currently in the eighth position after losing three out of five matches. They were inches closer to victory in the last game, but unfortunately, they ended up losing.

Despite losing the last game, RR still looks like one of the most formidable teams in the tournament. However, they have lost the winning momentum, and Punjab will look to capitalize on it.

Pitch Report

The Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium is set to host the third match of the season. The last two matches at this venue have witnessed high-scoring encounters, and if the pitch behaves similarly, we'll be treated to another batting-friendly match. Pace bowlers are likely to get help on this ground.

Player Picks

8.5
C

Sanju Samson RR | WK

Sanju Samson is currently the fourth-highest run-scorer in the tournament with 246 runs, including three fifties. The RR skipper scored 68 runs in their last match against GT and looks to be in top form.

9
C

Riyan Parag RR | BAT

We are witnessing the 2.0 version of Riyan Parag this season. The right-handed batter has amassed 261 runs in five matches, including three half-centuries, and is currently the second-highest run-getter.

8
C

Shashank Singh PBKS | ALL

Shashank Singh is the powerhouse of the PBKS batting unit. He has displayed spectacular big-hitting in the last two matches as he tries to pull a win out of an impossible situation.

8.5

Yuzvendra Chahal RR | BOWL

The highest wicket-taker in the history of the league is well maintaining his reputation. Chahal has taken 10 wickets so far at an average of 13.20. He took two wickets in the last match.

9

Trent Boult RR | BOWL

Trent Boult is one of the key strengths in RR's bowling line-up. The left-arm pacer always aims for wickets in the first over and creates early damage for the opposition.

9

Kagiso Rabada PBKS | BOWL

Kagiso Rabada is the go-to-bowler for any captain. The Proteas pacer has picked up seven wickets so far this season and will look to increase the tally in the upcoming match.

8.5

Sam Curran PBKS | ALL

Sam Curran has done a decent job with the bat and ball so far. Unlike previous seasons, the Englishman is batting up the order this time. In the last match, he scored 29 and also grabbed two wickets.

8.5

Ashutosh Sharma PBKS | BOWL

Ashutosh Sharma and Shashank Singh are a blockbuster pair. The duo put up a scintillating show in the last two matches and garnered the attention of the cricket fraternity. Ashutosh remained unbeaten with 33 runs at a strike rate of 220 against SRH.

9

Jos Buttler RR | WK

Jos Buttler has not been at his best so far. Barring a century against RCB, the RR opener has not found a way to score this season. However, dropping him from the team would be a suicidal call as he can bat deep and score big when he is on song.

Avoid Having These Players In Your Fantasy Sports Team

8.5

Harshal Patel

PBKS | BOWL

Harshal Patel has not been consistent in taking wickets and has leaked a lot of runs. The pitch for the upcoming match is in favour of batting and the right-arm pacer is likely to have another poor outing.

6

Dhruv Jurel

RR | WK

Dhruv Jurel has not been impressive this season. He did a few cameos but failed to make it big. Considering his current form, it is not a wise decision to include him in your fantasy teams.
