Team Analysis
PBKS Analysis
Currently leading the standings, Punjab Kings have been in immense form as they have brushed aside their two matches, making it look like a cakewalk.
The bowlers have stepped up in the high-pressure situation, and their batting lineup has been outstanding.
They had a comfortable win in their last game against Lucknow Super Giants, where the batters and the bowlers shone alike.
They will be looking to increase their winning streak and move up even further in the top.
RR Analysis
Currently ninth on the table, the Rajasthan Royals struggled in terms of consistency, winning only one of their three matches.
They, however, arrive in this game on the back of a morale-boosting victory over Chennai Super Kings, where both their batters and bowlers had played key roles.
They will be determined to climb the rankings, building momentum and bringing their season back to life with another standout performance.

Match Key Factors
Weather & Conditions
At 25 degrees Celsius, the temperature will remain steady, with clear conditions and winds flowing at 12-14 km/hr during the match.
Pitch Analysis
The surface of the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur offers a fair contest between bat and ball.
Batters can play their strokes confidently once they settle in, thanks to the decent bounce and carry on the pitch.
Pacers find some movement with the new ball, especially under lights, while spinners may have a limited role due to minimal turn.
Dew is likely to influence the second innings, making chasing a favourable option. The average first-innings score at this venue is 167 runs.
