Rajasthan Royals host Punjab Kings in their second home - Guwahati - on Wednesday as they eye a confirmation for the playoffs in the Indian Premier League 2024. The Royals have come close multiple times to book their place in the knockout stages but have not been able to get that Q. They come into this contest on the back of three consecutive losses.
While RR can still finish in the top two as they have 16 points in 12 matches, PBKS are out of reckoning in the tournament as they hold the bottom place in the points table with 8 points in 12 matches. The highest they can reach is 12. These two games will be the matches where they can try and find some more positive for the next season.
