Pitch Report
Analysis
The Rajasthan Royals have been nearly flawless with four wins from four games but their recent defeat against the Gujarat Titans showcased the only chink in RR’s armour, i.e., their death bowling. Barring that, Rajasthan’s batting has been firing all cylinders with Sanju Samson and Riyan Parag in top form. Similarly, their bowling has been incredible with Trent Boult, Yuzvendra Chahal and Nandre Burger picking up wickets at regular intervals.
On the other hand, the Punjab Kings have been a fighting team and pushed games to the final over with some incredible cricket. Kings batting has seemed lacklustre with their top-order failing to fire but their lower-order batters like Shashank Singh and Ashutosh Sharma have been crucial. Talking about their bowling, Sam Curran, Kagiso Rabada and Arshdeep Singh in scintillating form.
