Rajasthan Royals and Punjab Kings will take on each other on Wednesday (May 15) in Match 65 of IPL 2024 at Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati. The Royals, with eight wins and four defeats, are placed second on the points table, while Punjab, one of the already eliminated franchises, are bottom of the chart, having won only four out of 12 attempts.
Before the two teams take on each other, let's take a look at which riveting matchups could be interesting for the viewers.
Yashasvi Jaiswal Vs Arshdeep Singh
| Runs | Balls | Outs | Dots | Average | Strike Rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 26 | 20 | 2 | 9 | 13 | 130.00 |
Jaiswal doesn't have a great record against Arshdeep, losing his wicket twice in 20 balls, while his strike rate is not at his naturally aggressive level either. So, this should be an interesting mini-battle, and the absence of Jos Buttler makes this contest even more exciting.
Prabhsimran Singh Vs Yuzvendra Chahal
| Runs | Balls | Outs | Dots | Average | Strike Rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4 | 5 | 1 | 2 | 4 | 80.00 |
Yuzvendra Chahal and Prabhsimran Singh have not met much in the competition. However, Prabhsimran is yet to play an aggressive shot against the attacking leg-spinner, while falling to him even once. Will Prabhsimran break the shackles this time around? Well, we will find out soon.
Sanju Samson Vs Kagiso Rabada
| Runs | Balls | Outs | Dots | Average | Strike Rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 27 | 19 | 2 | 8 | 13.5 | 142.1 |
In their previous fixture, Punjab made a blunder by not playing Kagiso Rabada versus RCB. Rabada has a stellar record against Virat Kohli, who eventually cost them heavily in their defeat. Similarly, the South African international performed exceptionally well against Sanju Samson in the past. Therefore, Punjab must not repeat the same mistake in this fixture in order to avoid another traumatising phase.
