Pre-Match Analysis:

It seems Rajasthan Royals have missed their plot at the business end of the tournament and head into this match on the back of three straight losses. Notably, all three of them came away from home. The streak started with a narrow one-run loss against Sunrisers Hyderabad that extended over Delhi Capitals and Chennai Super Kings. On a slow Chepauk wicket, they struggled to get going and settled for only 141 their second-lowest total this season and despite doing well in the second half they couldn’t overcome the hosts.

They now play the remaining two matches at their second home Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati. Sanju Samson and Co. need a win here to officially ensure their playoff spot. With 8 wins and 4 losses, they haven’t moved from the second position in the standings with 16 points in their bag. Royals will be without their prominent player Jos Buttler who will return home to join the England squad for the upcoming T20Is against Pakistan. Tom Kohler Cadmore who was warming the benches might be the right replacement for Buttler.

Punjab Kings had another miserable season and were eliminated from the tournament way too early with a 60-run loss over Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Thursday. With back-to-back losses under their belt, they pushed down to the bottom of the standings with 8 points. They missed the services of Shikhar Dhawan due to a shoulder injury for most of the tournament and since then nothing has gone right so far barring a couple of wins over CSK and KKR.

Sam Curran who was the standing captain failed to seek necessary match-winning performances from the players and the game against RR will be his last of the season before he heads back to England to join the National squad, Jonny Bairstow will also accompany him. Liam Livingstone had already returned to England to undergo a knee recuperation before the T20 World Cup. Even Kagiso Rabada will miss the remainder of the tournament due to injury. Having already ruled out of the playoffs race, they will be providing opportunities for the youngsters in the squad to showcase their talent.
