Punjab Kings vs Rajasthan Royals Prediction & Betting Tips 2025

Shashank Singh had a stunning debut for Punjab Kings last season which resulted in him getting retained. He did not bat in the last game but scored 44 in this opening game which makes us believe he will score well in the upcoming game.

Sanju Samson was one of the most consistent players for Rajasthan Royals last season. He was brilliant in the opening game as he scored 66 and even though he did not play well in the last two games, we believe he will score well in the upcoming match.

Punjab Kings vs Rajasthan Royals Match Toss Prediction

Historically the venue has suited the team that batted first. The last two of the three matches have been won by the team that bowled first which makes us believe both sides would prefer to chase in the upcoming game.

Punjab Kings vs Rajasthan Royals Betting Odds

Punjab Kings to have a better opening partnership than Rajasthan Royals

Rajasthan Royals and Punjab Kings head into this game in contrasting form, expectations were high for Rajasthan Royals this season but they have struggled to make an impact even though they won the last game against Chennai Super Kings. They started the campaign with back to back defeats and are currently ninth on the table. On the other hand, Punjab Kings are flying high in this campaign. They have won back to back games against Gujarat Titans and Lucknow Super Giants and are one of the two unbeaten teams in this tournament. Rajasthan Royals top order has struggled thus far and we expect their struggle to continue in this game. We believe Punjab Kings will have a better opening partnership in the upcoming game.
