RR vs PBKS, Match 65, IPL 2024: Rajasthan Royals (RR) carry forward their IPL 2024 journey as they clash with Punjab Kings (PBKS). The showdown unfolds at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati for the 65th game of the tournament on Wednesday, May 15. Positioned second in the standings with eight wins and four losses from 12 matches, the inaugural champions are poised for a gripping encounter.

After a stellar start to the tournament, the team has faced a setback in the latter half, losing momentum along the way. With three consecutive defeats in their recent matches, RR is struggling to regain their rhythm. However, they remain determined to turn the tide in their upcoming game. As they aim to bounce back, RR eyes a crucial victory that would secure their spot in the playoffs, following Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) as the second team to qualify.

On the flip side, PBKS find themselves in a dire situation, having already been eliminated from contention in the ongoing season and currently residing at the bottom of the points table. This season mirrors their performance from the past few years, as they continue to struggle to qualify for the playoffs. With just four wins and eight losses from 12 matches played, the 2014 finalists face an uphill battle.

Without the pressure of playoff qualification, PBKS aims to play spoiler to their opponents’ aspirations. They have the opportunity to disrupt RR’s pursuit of securing a top-four spot by causing an upset in their upcoming match. Led by Sam Curran, PBKS enters the game on the back of consecutive losses against Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore.
