Rajasthan Royals
Rajasthan Royals had a pretty inconsistent season of IPL, they were on and off throughout the ongoing league and hence currently with just 10 points they are 7th place on the point table. In the last match, they desperately need the win and they have done it in style against formidable MI. RR has chased down the target of 196 with 10 balls to spare and with 8 wickets in hand. England’s all-rounder Ben Stokes smashed his second century of the IPL; the southpaw scored a brilliant knock of 107 from 60 balls. Stokes and Smason put a partnership of 152 for the third wicket. However, RR would be hoping for some good knock from their key batsman Jos Buttler and S Smith. There is not a single RR batsman in top 15 leading run-scorer this season; that clearly shows batting unit inconsistency and failure. Wicket-keeper batmans Sanju Samson after a two amazing knock at the start of the season failed to carry on the momentum and threw his wickets playing some bad shots.
In the middle-order, R Tewatia has done everything he can do his team, he won a couple of games for his side and playing his all-rounder to perfection. R Parag as well has done a decent job in the limited opportunity he has got. In the bowling department, pacer Jofra Archer has been a standout performer for RR. He has bowled with great pace and picked more wickets than anyone else in Powerplay. J Archer bagged 17 wickets from 12 matches so far this season and at an economy of less than 7. The spin duo of S Gopal and R Tewatia has bowled brilliantly and took all the advantage of conditions.

From the last 18 IPL matches, more than 60% matches won by batting first team. Records are clearly in favour of batting first team and hence both the team will look to bat first after winning the toss.
Winning Prediction
Considering the performances of the last few games of both the team, KXIP are way ahead of RR. Besides, KXIP got plenty of firepower in their rank and good seam and spin bowlers. KXIP batting line-up looks more solid and formidable than inconsistent RR unit. Hence, we expect KXIP will have an advantage going into this game and they will keep the momentum.
We predict Kings XI Punjab will win this match.
