The Indian Premier League 2024 match between Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Rajasthan Royals (RR), set to take place at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur on Saturday, April 13, promises to be an exciting encounter. The stakes are definitely higher because both teams want to win so they can improve their positions on the points table. Watchers can expect an exciting battle marked by intense competition and unwavering determination as these formidable opponents square off on the balanced turf.
Punjab Kings to remain unchanged
Punjab Kings lost their previous encounter to Sunrisers Hyderabad by just two runs. Even though PBKS did a lot of things right in the game, they still fell short of the ultimate goal. Going into the game vs table toppers RR, although concern remains on forms of Jonny Bairstow, PBKS are unlikely to change their playing XI for the tie at their home ground.
PBKS Probable Playing XI
Shikhar Dhawan (c), Jonny Bairstow, Sam Curran, Sikandar Raza, Jitesh Sharma (wk), Shashank Singh, Ashutosh Sharma, Harpreet Brar, Harshal Patel, Kagiso Rabada, Arshdeep Singh
Impact Sub: Prabhsimran Singh
