Guwahati, May 14 (SocialNews.XYZ) The Rajasthan Royals have won the toss and elected to bat against the Punjab Kings at the Barsapara Stadium.
The Royals will be looking to close an impressive campaign with a win over the Punjab Kings who have already been eliminated from playoff contention. They will be missing the services of one of their most crucial player, Jos Buttler as they look to figure out how to fill the gap left by the 2022 Orange cap winner.
“This is a second home for us, we have spend quite a bit of time here. We spent two days to assess on whether there is dew, and there isn't any. The team, the batting and bowling unit are doing great. Everyone is chill and we are excited to come out and play a great game of cricket,” said RR skipper Sanju Samson.
The Punjab Kings on the other hand have also been handed a handicap due to most english players having left the side before the end of the season in preparation for the 2024 T20 World Cup.
“Tonight we play a really good team, and we can spoil a few campaigns now and finish with some pride. We've had a really good squad but some of those games we didn't win the big moments. We are about 2-3 wins away from qualifying and we aren't there because we didn't capitalize on the big moments,” said PBKS captain Sam Curran
