Hello and Welcome to our preview for Kings XI Punjab vs Rajasthan Royals match. We are covering KXIP vs RR Dream11 Team Prediction, Preview and Probable Playing XI for the T20 match. The match is to be played at Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali.

Kings XI Punjab is fifth on the points table with four wins and four losses. They lost their last encounter to RCB by 8 wickets. Batting first, Christopher Henry Gayle single-handedly took his team to a total of 173 runs with his brilliant knock of 99* runs in 64 balls. Defending the target, Spin duo of Ravichandran and Murugan Ashwin bowled tight lengths to increase the run rate/over but pacers failed to restrict RCB leading to the easy chase of a target. Ravi Ashwin and Shami took one scalp each in losing cause for their team. KXIP will be determined to improve their middle-order weakness and put a solid show tomorrow to defeat Rajasthan Royals.
