Indian Premier League 2020: Rajasthan Royals vs. Kings XI Punjab, Match No. 9

Match predictions
Winners Prediction: Both Rajasthan Royals and Kings XI Punjab scored 200+ runs in their last match and won the match against CSK & RCB comfortably. They will be high on confidence after a superb showing from their top order. Punjab has a slightly better bowling attack when compared to the Rajasthan Royals with both their spinners and pacers amongst wickets. We expect Kings XI Punjab to win this match.
Score Prediction: Sharjah will be hugely in the favour of the batsmen and shorter boundaries will make the sail over the ropes. We expect yet another high scoring match in the range of 180-200 runs one more time.
Toss Prediction: Chasing teams have won just one out of the 8 matches in IPL this season and we expect captains to bat first as the pitch slows down as the match progresses.

KINGS XI PUNJAB: KL Rahul (C & Wk), Mayank Agarwal, Glenn Maxwell, Nicholas Pooran, Karun Nair, Sarfraz Khan, Jimmy Neesham, Murugan Ashwin, Sheldon Cottrell, Mohammed Shami, Ravi Bishnoi

- Jofra Archer – Archer was the best bowler in the last match with figures of 4-0-26-1 & his 4 sixes in the last over made a huge difference in the match for the Rajasthan Royals. .
