IPL 2024 – Match 65, RR vs PBKS: Top 3 Players You Can Pick In Your Dream11 Fantasy Team As Captain & Vice-Captain
Riyan Parag & Harshal Patel are the ideal captaincy & vice-captaincy choices for RR vs PBKS match in dream team
Rajasthan Royals (RR) will face Punjab Kings (PBKS) in Match 65 of the 17th edition of the IPL 2024 on Wednesday, May 15, 2024, at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati.
This stadium will host the inaugural match of IPL 2024. In the current competition, the Rajasthan Royals have won eight and lost four matches. They are presently ranked second in the points table. Thus, the Royals hope to regain their winning momentum.
In contrast, the Punjab Kings have won four and lost eight games thus far. They are currently at the bottom of the points table, and the Kings would prefer to regain their winning momentum. Punjab Kings would aim to avenge their last encounter, which was held at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur, Chandigarh, previously. This will be a pivotal game for the Royals’ future in the tournament.
In the last game of Rajasthan Royals, Riyan Parag 47*(35) played a superb innings which helped the Royals to post a decent total of 141. But he didn’t get support from other batters and Chennai chased that score easily.
For Rajasthan Royals, a win would guarantee them playoffs and also seal their Qualifier 1 place against KKR at Ahmedabad. But Rajasthan Royals’ consecutive defeats and Buttler flying back for national duties have made their easiest job a tough nut to crack in the last games.
Speaking about the last game of Punjab Kings, Rilee Rossouw 61(27) played a magnificent innings but failed to breach RCB’s winning momentum resulting in their loss.
Joss Buttler has flown back to England for national duties and Sam Curran is expected to do the same. Expect changes in the team as PBKS can bring new faces in the match.
