There is nothing to separate between the two sides when it comes to head-to-head results. Both the sides have won 11 games each in 22 face-offs so far.
The Rajasthan Royals put up a stiff fight in their first match against Punjab Kings, but fell only four runs short of the target against Punjab Kings.

The Proteas fast bowler had caused a lot of damage to opposition batting lineups in the last season.
