PBKS vs RR, IPL 2024 Highlights: Rajasthan Royals trump Punjab Kings in a low-scoring thriller
Punjab Kings' season of being there yet still not being enough continued in Mullanpur as they dragged the Rajasthan Royals to the last over despite having just 147 runs on the board. It was s slow wicket, contrary to everyone who thought otherwise and at one point Punjab Kings looked like they will struggle to get to 130 but Ashutosh Sharma's cameo helped them get to 147, which was decent but not match-winning. Rajasthan Royals made too many errors with the bat, after a brilliant show with the ball. They didn't get the batting order right, the likes of Tanush Kotian and Dhruv Jurel struggled and if not for a Shimron Hetmyer cameo at the end, the Kings bowlers had done enough to pull off a miraculous win.

PBKS vs RR, Mullanpur pitch report - Seamers should enjoy
In the last game too we saw that 180-plus was defended rather comfortably by the Sunrisers Hyderabad apart from the chaos in the last over. It is going to be similar on Saturday as well. Pitch number four will be used for the clash with 64 and 67-metre square boundaries and 75m straight. Seamers will continue to enjoy on this surface as they will get the movement and the bounce.

What about Royals?
Rajasthan Royals suffered their first loss of the 2024 edition of the IPL. The Royals don't need to change much as they have been doing really well apart from an over here or there at the death. Kuldeep Sen played the last game and even though he took three wickets in the middle overs and was the difference, however, his 20-run over at the death shifted the game in Gujarat Titans' favour.

Punjab need their top order to fire
Shikhar Dhawan, Jonny Bairstow and Prabhsimran Singh need to score, as simple as that. Since the game against the Lucknow Super Giants, both Dhawan and Bairstow haven't been able to do the job and their whole batting line-up has depended on the duo of Shashank Singh and Ashutosh Sharma to get them over the line. They did in one game but in the other against the Sunrisers Hyderabad, they had too much to do.

Punjab vs Rajasthan - the real El Clasico?
It has been a very underrated rivalry in the IPL but has produced some of the most iconic games. Whether it was the Super Over in 2015 or the raging debate-starter Buttler-Ashwin game in 2019 or the Rahul Tewatia special in 2020 in Sharjah. The players and squads may be quite different but there has always been anticipation around this clash and 2024 is no different given both teams have quality players and both are coming from respective losses. Can they change it on Saturday?
