Punjab Kings vs Rajasthan Royals Prediction & Betting Tips 2023
This would be the third T20 game that would be played at the venue and looking at the two games that were played here it looked a great wicket to bat on. Considering the fact how well both sides have batted this season, we expect this to be a high scoring game and total runs would be over 349.5.
With Liam Livingstone likely to miss this game after he suffered a hamstring injury, Punjab Kings lack the firepower which is essential in this format. On the other hand, even with the inconsistencies at the top for RR, their middle order has performed in every game thus far which makes us believe they would score more sixes than PBKS in the upcoming game.

Punjab Kings vs Rajasthan Royals Betting Odds
Rajasthan Royals to have a better opening partnership than Punjab Kings
Rajasthan Royals and Punjab Kings head into this fixture after a loss for both sides. Both sides’ top order has struggled for consistency this season which could play a key role as we head into the business end of the campaign. Even though Rajasthan Royals have had a brilliant start thus far, they have managed an opening stand of 13, 9, 10, 0 and 32 which showcases they struggle at the top order. On the other hand, Punjab Kings have managed an opening stand of 34, 17, 102, 13, 2 and in three of the last four matches they have conceded a bigger opening partnership. Even though Rajasthan Royals have a similar record thus far, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Jos Buttler are a far better opening pair especially with Jaiswal scoring 24 off 19 balls in the last game. We believe Rajasthan Royals would have a better opening stand in the upcoming game.
