Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) are set to clash in the 2024 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.

Pitch Report

The Barsapara Stadium offers a batter-friendly pitch. While the batters are likely to dominate most of the time, the spinners will also get some help on the surface here.

Player Picks

8.5
C

Sanju Samson RR | WK

The RR captain leads the team from the front. Samson currently ranks fifth in the leading run-scorers list with 486 runs at an average of 60.75 and a strike rate of 158.31.

9
C

Riyan Parag RR | BAT

Riyan Parag is RR's most reliable batter in the middle order this season. Batting at No. 4, the right-hander has scored 483 runs at an average of 60.38 and a strike rate of 153.82.

8
C

Shashank Singh PBKS | ALL

PBKS are indebted to Shashank Singh for taking them this far in the season. He has single-handedly led the team to many victories with his scintillating power-hitting.

7.5

Yashasvi Jaiswal RR | BAT

Yashasvi Jaiswal gives RR a strong start in the powerplay despite failing to stay at the crease for long. In Jos Buttler's absence, the southpaw will be expected to shoulder more responsibility and score big runs.

8

Jonny Bairstow PBKS | WK

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.

8.5

Sandeep Sharma RR | BOWL

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.

8

Rilee Rossouw PBKS | BAT

Rilee Rossouw played a crucial knock in the match against RCB. He scored 61 off just 27 balls to give his team a glimmer of hope while chasing a mammoth target of 242.

9

Ravichandran Ashwin RR | ALL

Ravichandran Ashwin has picked up five wickets in the last two matches at an impressive economy. The veteran off-spinner is likely to bring all his experience in the upcoming crucial matches.

8.5

Harshal Patel PBKS | BOWL

Harshal Patel is currently the joint-highest wicket-taker in the series ( 20 wickets). Although he often leaks a lot of runs, the right-arm pacer is at the fore to pick up crucial wickets.

Avoid Having These Players In Your Fantasy Sports Team

9

Trent Boult

RR | BOWL

There will be a temptation to include Trent Boult in your fantasy teams. But the left-arm pacer has lost his form in recent matches. He has taken only one wicket in the last three matches and has conceded a huge economy rate.

6

Dhruv Jurel

RR | WK

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.
