Series: Indian Premier League 2023
Rajasthan Royals vs Punjab Kings, 8th Match 5th April evening seven thirty pm
Venue: Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati
Sanju Samson’s side did what was expected from them in the last game. They destroyed the Sunrisers Hyderabad bowling attack and won the game by 72 runs. The Top 3 played exceptionally in the game
and took it away from their opponents in the first few overs. Sampson would like his players to continue in the same mode and win this game.
Jos Buttler and Yashasvi Jaiswal are arguably the most destructive opening pair, and they proved that with an 85-run stand in the last game. The side will expect a similar show from them.
Samson is the perfect No. 3, and he will look to anchor the innings with Devdutt Padikkal and Riyan Parag. Shimron Hetmyer, Ravichandran Ashwin, and Jason Holder make it a power-packed batting line-up.
Shikhar Dhawan started his captaincy stint with a win. It was a good show from the side with the bat as they put up a big score on the board and defeated the Kolkata Knight Riders by 7 runs under the DLS method.
It will be a tougher challenge against the Rajasthan Royals, against whom they have struggled in the last three seasons. Dhawan must inspire confidence in the camp to win this game.
Shikhar Dhawan led from the front against KKR, and he will look to set up a strong platform along with Prabhsimran Singh, who showed his hitting ability. Bhanuka Rajapaksa must use his experience at No. 3 and
add runs with Jitesh Starma and Sikandar Raza. The side has power hitters down the order, and they would like to see runs from Sam Curran, Shahrukh Khan, and Nathan Ellis.
Pitch Report
Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati, is known for having a softer surface, unlike most venues in India. It gives ample opportunity to the fast bowlers.
Spinners have to earn their wickets as they don’t find as much bargain from the track as other venues. Batsmen who play the waiting game and build their innings do well.
key players rajasthan : Sanju Samson, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Jos Buttler, Trent Boult
key players Punjab : Shikhar Dhawan, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Rahul Chahar, Arshdeep Singh
