RR vs KXIP Dream11 Team IPL2018 match 40th : Preview

Hello and Welcome to our preview for Rajasthan Royals vs Kings XI Punjab. We are covering RR vs KXIP Dream11 Team Prediction, Preview and Probable Playing XI for IPL2018. The next match is to be played at Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur.

Rajasthan is currently at the bottom of the table with only only 3 wins in 9 matches.  Just like Banglore they need to win of the five matches with better run rate to qualify for the playoffs. It has been 9 matches and the big card Ben Stokes has failed terribily till now. Only Samson and Rahane has contributed heavily but the inconsistency has been the problem. They need to come with full force and give all around performance for all the matches ahead.

Punjab has been the most suprised and has been the favourite as the both openers Rahul and Gayle. Rahul played a match winning knock.  Punjab are sitting at the third spot but have their own issues to address. As of now, KXIP have been a two-man team, too reliant on the openers. They would like middle-order to come with the contribution.

Last match they played few days ago where Punjab was led by Mujeeb magical 4 overs taking 3 wickets. Butler opened the ininings are scored a 50 there on no contributed and they reached a total of 152 with 9 wickets. From Punjab it was the opener Rahul who came out and won the game from them.  Being must game for Royals It would be interesting to see whether they stay alive in the tournament or gets the elimination report
