In the race to top four place today Rajasthan Royals and Kings XI Punjab will face each other , and RR has to win when the two teams clash. Kings XI Punjab have not much to worry even as they would look to consolidate their position at the top.
Punjab, who lost to Mumbai Indians here last night, are currently on top of the table with 18 points from 12 outings. Rajasthan have 14 points from 12 matches same as Kolkata Knight Riders but they are placed third due to slightly better Net Run-Rate.
The Royals, champions of the inaugural edition, have been performing as per the expectations with some little-known players contributing massively to their success.
However, they are coming into this match after a 25-run loss against Mumbai Indians, paying the price for resting key players such as Steven Smith and Ajinkya Rahane.
