Rajasthan Royals vs Punjab Kings Prediction

Punjab Kings have plenty to play for ahead of the IPL starting back up. Currently sat third-place in the table, Punjab are just a point behind second-placed Gujarat Titans and would overtake them at least temporarily with a win in Jaipur over an already eliminated Rajasthan Royals side who have lost nine of their 12 matches this campaign.

Expect a fast start from Punjab, particularly if they end up batting first as they look to lay down an early marker. Rajasthan’s bowling attack has been the victims of some heavy punishment across this season’s IPL and that is expected to continue at the hands of Punjab. Back the Kings to come through and register an eighth victory this season.
