PBKS vs RR Pitch Report

The Mullanpur pitch has proved two high-scoring games. In the previous game PBKS posted 254/7 against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). Before that, they chased down 220 against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) with seven balls to spare. The first game of the season at the venue was not high-scoring. PBKS chased down 163 against PBKS with five balls to spare. However, on April 28, the windy conditions will assist pacers, especially early on in the innings. 

Mullanpur Weather Report

Like in the match at Delhi's Arun Jaitley Stadium on April 27, thunderstorms are expected. The windy conditions may suit the fast bowlers. Rain is unlikely to play spoilsport in the game.

Punjab Kings Predicted Playing XI

PBKS are unlikely to make changes to their winning combination. However, they have the option to replace Xavier Bartlett with Lockie Ferguson who had joined the team in Delhi. 

PBKS Predicted Playing XI plus impact player - Prabhsimran Singh, Priyansh Arya, Cooper Connolly, Shreyas Iyer, Nehal Wadhera, Shashank Singh, Marcus Stoinis, Xavier Bartlett, Marco Jansen, Vijaykumar Vyshakh, Yuzvendra Chahal

Rajasthan Royals Predicted Playing XI

RR's Sandeep Sharma may miss another game as there is no update on whether he has recovered from a side strain which led to him being available for last three games. As Tushar Deshpande has been expensive, RR have the option of replacing him with Kuldeep Sen, Yudhhvir Singh Charak or Sushant Mishra. RR have shown faith in Shimron Hetmyer despite him not performing. Dasun Shanaka is a good option in the middle order who can contribute with the ball too.

RR Predicted Playing XI plus impact player - Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Dhruv Jurel, Riyan Parag, Shimron Hetmyer/Dasun Shanaka, Donovan Ferreira, Ravindra Jadeja, Jofra Archer, Nandre Burger, Tushar Deshpande/Yudhvir Singh Charak, Brijesh Sharma
