TEAMS PREVIEW
Punjab Kings Preview
A middling performance from the batsmen and bowlers have pushed Punjab Kings to the bottom half of the table.
A superb rear-guard action and explosive hitting from the lower order, especially Shashank Singh and Ashutosh Rana, helped Punjab completed a miraculous victory against Gujarat Titans after Punjab were in the backfoot for most part of the game. The duo got together and pulled off another remarkable victory against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the following match, but came up short by 2 runs. where achieving victory was not at all possible.
The top-order is unable to give the team flying starts in the powerplay, and that puts the upper middle order under enormous pressure. Dhawan’s scoring rate has to improve, and he does tend to get bogged down a little through the middle overs. Sikandar Raza and Jitesh Sharma need to come good with the bat and build a base for Shashank and Ashutosh to launch off from in the death overs.
A left-heavy bowling attack, Punjab Kings bowlers haven’t been able to dictate with the ball in hand. Except Rabada and Arshdeep, other bowlers are not able to run through the opposition batting order and find themselves in the hitting zone.
PBKS Over/Under Betting Tips

Rajasthan Royals Preview
Rajasthan Royals opened their season with four straight wins. It would have been 5 in a row, but Rashid Khan and Rahul Tewatia staged a comeback of epic proportions in the death overs to take Gujarat Titans over the line, handing Royals the first defeat of the season. Nandre Burger had to miss the last game and Keshav Maharaj ed in to form a spin trio alongside Ashwin and Chahal.
Maharaj, making his debut for Royals after he was picked up from the Lucknow camp in the last moment, could not have much impact on the game. And so did Ashwin who went wicketless and gave away 40 runs in his four over spell. With just 1 scalp in 5 games, Ashwin’s form with the ball is a major concern for the Royals going into this game.
Kuldeep Sen impressed in his first match of the season and bowled with good pace to trouble GT batsmen and finish with a three-wicket haul. With the bat, Jaiswal and Buttler failed again. After yet another top-order failure, Samson and Parag had to step in and carry out the rescue act. They combined for a 130-run stand for the third wicket and took Royals beyond the safety of a par score.

Toss: To Bowl

Winning Prediction
Rajasthan Royals losing against Gujarat Titans in a nervy finish was just an aberration. The result could have gone the other way, and we think Royals will quickly put the disappointment behind and come back stronger than ever to solidify their position at the top of the tree. We expect Royals to get back to winning ways with a victory over Punjab Kings.
We are backing Rajasthan Royals as the winners of this contest.
