Match Preview
In the 66th game of the Indian Premier League 2023, we will see Punjab Kings hosting Rajasthan Royals at their adopted home, the HPCA Stadium, Dharamshala. The hosts, after having a not-so-great IPL season, have occupied the eighth spot on the table, the upcoming game will be very critical for them. On the other hand, Rajasthan Royals lost their last home league game against Royal Challengers Bangalore on May 14, Sunday. Occupying the sixth spot on the table, the Royals would wish to increase their probability of making it to the playoffs for this season through this win.
Toss Prediction
In their last battle for this season, we saw the winners of the first edition of the Indian Premier League, Rajasthan Royals coming on top as the toss winners. While the Kings will be hosting the upcoming fixture, we might see them winning the toss on May 19, Friday.
Win Prediction
The rivalry between the Royals and Punjab Kings (earlier Kings XI Punjab) is 25 matches old. In those 25 fixtures, Rajasthan showcased sheer dominance and won 14 matches, whereas Punjab emerged winners in 11 of them. If we talk particularly about this season, we saw the Shikhar Dhawan-led side taking their rivals down. However, as they are coming on the back of a huge defeat against the Royal Challengers Bangalore, the Royals will give a tough fight to the Punjab Kings and emerge victorious in the upcoming battle.
Predicted Powerplay Score and Average First Inning Score
The first-inning score of the battle between the Royals and the Kings will probably be around 175-180 and the powerplay score will hover around 40-45.
