Last five matches for KXIP: W W W W W

Kings XI Punjab didn’t give up after they could only win a solitary match out of the first seven matches. They have been able to turn the tables in the second phase of the league stage as they have won five matches on the bounce. Punjab will aim to win the last two matches to make a strong case for themselves for the playoff stages.

Last five matches for RR: L L W L W

Rajasthan Royals haven’t been able to tick the right boxes. The Royals have shown inconsistency in their batting and it has led to their downfall in the tournament. The Royals have a slim chance of qualifying for the playoff stages as they have a poor Net Run rate.

Head to Head: Total matches: 20, Won by Kings XI Punjab: 9, Won by Rajasthan Royals: 11.

Players to watch out for: Chris Gayle, KL Rahul, Mandeep Singh and Mohammed Shami have all shown good form and they are going to hold the key for Punjab.

Ben Stokes, Steve Smith, Jos Buttler, Sanju Samson and Jofra Archer will be the main players for RR.
