Punjab Kings play host to the table topping Rajasthan Royals at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh Stadium. The new home venue for Punjab has produced a mix bag of results for them. They will be looking for a win over the leaders who have won four of their five matches. Rajasthan looked on course for five wins on the trot but a late assault by the Gujarat Titans saw them lose on the last ball of the match. The strength of the visitors this season has been their exceptionally strong batting lineup.

PBKS vs RR Royals Match Prediction: who will win?
Punjab looked to have turned the corner when they beat Lucknow by 21 runs but they were brought back to earth in the last match as they narrowly failed to beat the Sunrisers Hyderabad. They will be looking for more from their top order as they have discovered a new star in middle order batsmen Shashank Singh. He has a great temperament and is really calm even under pressure. Rajasthan will be looking to bounce back in this match with opener Yashasvi Jaiswal owing his team some runs. If he finds form in this match, then the Royals will win this match.
PBKS vs RR Royals Toss Prediction
The pitch surface at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh is an excellent one with the ball coming onto the bat very nicely. This was evident in the last match when 380 runs were scored although Punjab fell two runs short of the target. The team winning the toss should look to bowl first as chasing a total is the better option.
Punjab Kings vs Rajasthan Royals Top Run Scorer Prediction
We are tipping Jos Butler to be the top run scorer after his century two matches ago.
Punjab Kings vs Rajasthan Royals Top Wicket Taker Prediction
We are backing Yuzvendra Chahal to be the top wicket taker in this match.
Punjab Kings vs Rajasthan Royals Betting Preview
Both teams have star studded batting lineups but the difference has been the form of the Rajasthan batsmen. Jaiswal is the only out of form batter in the team while the Punjab Kings have a host of batsmen like Dhawan and Bairstow who are woefully short of runs. The home team will need their top order to fire which will allow the likes of Shashank Singh to attack from the moment he arrives at the crease. The form of Riyan Parag will be the deciding factor in Rajasthan winning this match. He has played two magnificent innings which has allowed his team to reach huge totals.
Tips for Punjab Kings vs Rajasthan Royals
Shikhar Dhawan to score over 30.5 runs at odds of 1.85
Total wickets to be over 12.5 at odds of 1.80.
RR to have the highest opening partnership at odds of 1.86.
