IPL MATCH PREDICTION: Punjab Kings vs Rajasthan Royals, match 52
Punjab Kings are set to put up a strong fight against Rajasthan Royals on Saturday, as the race for a spot in the playoffs heats up. To secure a spot in the top four, the Kings must win three more games in a row.
They are currently in sixth place, with five losses and the same number of wins. Punjab got back on track by defeating Gujarat Titans by eight wickets in their last encounter. To stay in the postseason race, the Rajasthan Royals must win at least two of their remaining four games.
RR has won six league games so far, while losing four. The franchise's bowling has been fantastic, and Jos Buttler has carried the batting line-up on his own. Despite their two-match losing skid, the team does not have any big problems.
The prospects of RR beating Punjab Kings on Saturday are very good.
