Rajasthan Royals vs Kings XI Punjab
Indian Premier League 2020, Match 50
Date & Time: 30 October, 2020 at 7:30PM IST
Sheik Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi, UAE

Strength

Kings XI Punjab:

• In form top order. KL Rahul, Mandeep Singh, Chris Gayle, and Nicholas Pooran are in splendid form.
• Mohammad Shami and young Bishnoi are in fine form.
• After a string of losses, they have now finally stuck together as a unit.

Rajasthan Royals:

• In Buttler, Smith, Stokes, and Samson, they have one of the most dynamic top four that a T20 team could ever wish for.
• Most of their young players who bat in the lower middle order can be very handy with the bat. Players like Rahul Tewatia and Riyan Parag provides much greater batting depth to RR.
• In Jofra Archer, they have one of the best T20 death over specialist.

Weakness

Kings XI Punjab:

• Weak middle order. If the top order doesn’t fire, they are in very serious trouble. They would need timely support from Maxwell, and the rest of the middle order.
• Except for young Arshdeep, KXIP’s death bowling is pretty ordinary. They haven’t been able to find the right man for the death overs.

Rajasthan Royals:

• RR’s bowling is a huge worry. The domestic bowlers must complement Jofra Archer big time.
• Ben Stokes, Sanju Samson, and Steve Smith are struggling for consistency. Apart from a few matches, they haven’t clicked so far.

With winning momentum on both sides, neither of them are expected to make any changes to their playing eleven. Unless Mayank is declared fit, KXIP is sure not to make any changes to the line-up.

For RR, things have now finally fallen into place and the only change that they might be considering is to bring in Jaydev Unadkat for Ankit Rajpoot by considering his slow ball expertise and the longer boundary dimensions in Abu Dhabi.
