IPL 2024 PBKS vs RR Match Preview: There is still no clearness on Livingstone's health for Punjab Kings or Sandeep Sharma for Rajasthan Royals
Match information
Great Picture- Pace the way to go in Mullanpur?
Although it is still early in the season, Mullanpur's newest facility has all the signs of being a strong bowler's ally. In the two games but far, 30 batsmen have fallen- 27 picked by the bowlers and three operate- outs. Out of these, 23 innings have been picked up by the batsmen. When the Punjab Kings played Sunrisers Hyderabad at this location on Tuesday, there was considerable movement and have, with the first match's run-scoring first not as straightforward. That is reflected in the figures, also.
Among all the venues so far in IPL 2024, Mullanpur has the best average for fast bowlers ( 19.7 ) and the lowest run rate ( 7.7 ) in the powerplay. In the first six innings of these two game, Mumbai and Mumbai combined for a total of nine wickets, putting them in second place. This year, just Jaipur's powerplay performance saw more innings fall, but four activities have already been played there.
Does this problem Rajasthan Royals, who are coming into the match having only been beaten for the first time in IPL 2024 on Wednesday? Nope. On the contrary, they might be the happier area. The Royals ' quicks, who have the best powerplay of any team in the tournament, have taken nine wickets on the powerplay, which averages 24.3 %. Kings are also close, with a powerplay average of 26.6 goes per innings, which could result in an intriguing game.
The other factor Royals will need to be wary of is not letting history repeat itself. A playoff area appeared to be in the offing place of them after they lost just one of their first five matches in the IPL 2023. But, they won only three of their next nine games and failed to qualify for the finishers. They have lost four of their first five games in the IPL 2024, but this time they hope to rectify the mistakes they made next year.

Team media and Impact Player Strategy
With Liam Livingstone inappropriate, Kings went with an intact range- up in their last sport against SRH. Fast bowlers manager Charl Langeveldt did n't shed little light on Livingstone's supply stating that they" may make a decision tomorrow". Sikandar Raza may take Sikandar Raza in the XII if he recovers.
It is likely that the King has n't changed since he has consistently subbing out Arshdeep Singh for Prabhsimran Singh or Ashutosh Sharma, and vice versa.
Likely XII: 1 Shikhar Dhawan ( capt ), 2 Jonny Bairstow, 3 Prabhsimran Singh, 4 Sam Curran, 5 Jitesh Sharma (wk ), 6 Shashank Singh, 7 Sikandar Raza, 8 Ashutosh Sharma, 9 Harpreet Brar, 10 Harshal Patel, 11 Kagiso Rabada, 12 Arshdeep Singh
Trent Boult only bowled two innings for the Royals while Nandre Burger suffered a broken leg in the previous activity against the Gujarat Titans. While that could just be lower to complement- ups, Boult's exercise will also be one to watch out for. Royals had brought in Keshav Maharaj as an Affect post for Yashasvi Jaiswal in the previous fit, but that is likely to change considering the area in Mullanpur has more in it for the quick bowlers.
Jaiswal may launch and be replaced as a fast bowler if the Royals bat first, or the other way around. After a strong performance in the previous activity, Uldeep Sen is likely to continue in his area. If Burger recovers from his injury, he could play for the Affect Players in the XII. Sandeep Sharma has been training with the club, but there is no confirmation as to his presence.
Likely XII: 1 Jos Buttler, 2 Yashasvi Jaiswal, 3 Sanju Samson (capt & wk), 4 Riyan Parag, 5 Dhruv Jurel, 6 Shimron Hetmyer, 7 R Ashwin, 8 Trent Boult, 9 Avesh Khan, 10 Nandre Burger, 11 Yuzvendra Chahal, 12 Kuldeep Sen
Shashank Singh and Yuzvendra Chahal are in the limelight.
Shashank Singh has twice shown his calibre as a finisher. After his heroics against Gujarat Titans, he almost took Kings to another improbable win in their last game against SRH. While Kings fell narrowly short, he proved his innings against Titans was no flash in the pan. Kings have been going at a run rate of 11.33 so far in the death overs this season and Shashank has been a major contributor. His strike rate of 195.71 is the Yuzvendra Chahal is just three shy of becoming the first bowler in the history of IPL to reach 200 wickets. He is the joint-highest wicket-taker (10) this season along with Jasprit Bumrah and has picked up at least a wicket in every game so far. Eight of those have come in the middle phase, more than any other bowler in IPL 2024. His economy rate of 7.50 during the middle overs also stands out. Chahal has been unafraid to take risks and has often been Samson's go-to bowler once the powerplay is done.
Statistics that subject
Jonny Bairstow has fallen three days in seven innings against Chahal, putting an average of 17.33 against him in T20s. R Ashwin has removed Dhawan four days in 14 T20 pitches.

Ball and problems
The speed, bounce, and carry are all aided by the surface in Mullanpur, and that will probably stay that way until Saturday. By the time play begins, the temperature is expected to be in the mid-towers in the day, but it will probably have dropped to the mid-20s. Additionally, there are a good chance of rain and 90 % of the cloud cover.
