IPL 2022: Punjab Kings look to continue winning form against a formidable Rajasthan Royals side, when the two clash today at the Wankhede Stadium
Previous match saw Punjab Kings inflict defeat on the table toppers Gujarat Titans. A dominant win for the men in red. First PBKS restricted GT to a sub-par score of 143, then chased down in 16 overs, with 8 wickets to spare.
Shikhar Dhawan showed his class once again, as he scored 62* in 53 balls to take Punjab home.
On the other hand, Rajasthan Royals suffered a defeat at the hands of Kolkata Knight Riders. Their 2nd consecutive defeat. First came at the hands of the Mumbai Indians.
RR could not get going from ball 1 and as a result, could only manage 152/5 in their 20 overs. KKR chased it down with 7 wickets remaining and 5 balls to spare.

The deck at the Wankhede Stadium has been a good one to bat on. The bounce can be trusted and to aid the batsmen, there are shorter boundaries here as compared to the other stadiums. Captain winning the toss is likely to bat first as it is a day encounter.
PBKS have 10 wins as compared to the 13 won by Rajasthan Royals.
Rajasthan Royals – Jos Buttler, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson(C & wk), Devdutt Padikkal, Shimron Hetmyer, Riyan Parag, Ravichandran Ashwin, Kuldeep Sen, Yuzvendra Chahal, Prasidh Krishnna, Trent Boult.
Punjab Kings – Mayank Agarwal(C), Shikhar Dhawan, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Jonny Bairstow, Liam Livingstone, Jitesh Sharma(wk), Rishi Dhawan, Kagiso Rabada, Rahul Chahar, Arshdeep Singh, Sandeep Sharma.
We can expect a high scoring thriller when the two teams meet in the 1st encounter of the double header Saturday.
