IPL 2021- PBKS vs RR Dream11 Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Dream11 Team, Playing XI, Pitch Report, Dream11 Team, and Injury Update of the match between Punjab Kings and Rajasthan Royals.

PBKS vs RR IPL 2021 Match Preview:

Punjab Kings will lock horns with Rajasthan Royals in the 32nd match of the Indian Premier League, at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai, on Tuesday.

Both Punjab Kings and Rajasthan Royals have won three matches so far in this IPL 2021 and are at the fifth and sixth spot respectively. However, Rajasthan has played only seven matches while Punjab has played eight.

When these two teams met earlier in the tournament, Punjab Kings fought hard to defend 221 runs and won the match by four runs.

Both the teams will kick off their journey in the second leg of the IPL from this match. Punjab Kings have a history of not getting their team combination right, which is a reason why they have struggled a lot over the years to field a balanced eleven.

Rajasthan Royals, on the other hand, had a decent first half of the IPL. The big concern for them is that their star English overseas players will be unavailable for the remainder of the tournament. They have got capable Indian players who can win the matches for them.

IPL 2020, Match 54: Kolkata Knight Riders vs Rajasthan Royals (KKR vs RR) – Toss Report

Rajasthan Royals captain Steven Smith won the toss and decided to field first. RR are the unchanged side in this match.

Smith said, “We will bowl first, dew seems to be coming in and that’s the big reason. We have bowled well majority of the tournament and hopefully we will go well tonight. The games we haven’t done well, our senior batters haven’t done well and fortunately Stokes and Samson are in good nick. We are unchanged.”

On the other hand, Kolkata Knight Riders captain Eoin Morgan confirmed that they made two changes in the playing XI. Andre Russell and Shivam Mavi replaced Lockie Ferguson and Rinku Singh.

Morgan said, “We would have prefered to chase. It’s not a night for holding back and on top of that we need to improve the NRR. He (Andre Russell) is back and it is great to have him back and so let’s hope tonight is the night. Lockie is out. Rinku Singh misses out and Shivam Mavi comes in. As a side you want to get into a position to win the game and then think about other (NRR) scenarios.”
