RR vs PBKS: Match Preview:
RR will be desperate to get back to winning ways and seal their spot in the top two. Not very long ago, a place in the playoffs as well as top two looked like a mere formality for the Royals. RR started their season with eight wins in nine games before their form took a dip.
They suffered three defeats in a row and are now in danger of missing out on top two. They qualified for the playoffs only because Delhi Capitals beat Lucknow Super Giants earlier this week. The Sanju Samson-led side would now be desperate to get back to winning ways and book their spot in the first qualifier.
PBKS, on the other hand, only have pride to play for. They are already knocked out of IPL 2024 and would be looking to end the season on a high.
IPL 2024 points table:
With eight wins and four defeats, RR are currently at the second spot in the points table. On the other hand, PBKS are languishing at the bottom with four wins and eight defeats.
