Indian T20 League 2024

Match 65: RAJ vs PUN

Preview

After looking like a near perfect team in the first half of the ongoing edition of the Indian T20 League, Rajasthan tapered off in the last three outings. While the outcome on Tuesday between Lucknow and Delhi cemented their place in the playoffs, they would want to finish in the top two to get the additional chance as well. 

As for Punjab, it has been a similar tale as previous editions. They are out of the playoff race and it is now all about salvaging pride for them. Punjab would likely hand out opportunities to youngsters keeping the future in mind. Shashank Singh and Ashutosh Singh have been the standout performers in a season where the entire team has struggled to do well.
