RR vs PBKS Live Score, IPL 2024: Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the IPL 2024 match being played between Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) at the Barsapara Stadium in Guwahati, Assam. This is match number 65 of the season and an inconsequential one far as the race to the Playoffs is concerned.
IPL 2024 RR vs PBKS Live Score, Rajasthan Royals vs Punjab Kings: This is because while Rajasthan Royals (RR) are already through to the final four, Punjab Kings (PBKS) are no longer in contention for a place in the final four. Having said that RR have lost three matches in a row and would now want to taste a win and head into the knockout stage of the competition with some momentum behind their back.
RR's Jos Buttler has flown to England ahead of the T20 World Cup 2024 and before they enter the business end, they would have to find a new opening partner for Yashasvi Jaiswal. Meanwhile, Shimron Hetmyer has also missed RR's last few matches but an official update on his fitness is awaited.
For PBKS, Kagiso Rabada and Liam Livingtone have flown back home but Sam Curran will continue to be available for selection in this game. There is no update on the niggle sustained by Shikhar Dhawan earlier in the season. Jonny Bairstow will also turn up in the Playing 11 after being confirmed that he has flown to Guwahati along with the stand-in captain Curran.
As far as PBKS batting is concerned, none of their batters have scored 400 runs either this season or the last one which explains why they are lagging behind in IPL 2024. This year though Shashank Singh has been a massive positive for the franchise and currently stands at 352 runs.
With 2 matches to go will Shashank go past the 400-run mark or will RR keep him quiet on their way to a win that helps them get back on winning track before the Playoffs? We shall find out over the course of the next two hours and a bit.
