Both RR and PBKS sit on 12 points each with six wins and seven defeats, the same as Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), and still have a shot at making the playoffs provided other results go their way in what promises to be a cracker of a weekend — the final one before the playoffs are underway in the 16th edition of the world’s biggest T20 league.

Both Punjab and Rajasthan enter Friday’s encounter on the back of defeats in their previous matches. PBKS were beaten by Delhi Capitals (DC) in a high-scoring contest in the first of the two matches alloted to Dharamsala this season, finishing 15 short of the mammoth 213/2 posted by the David Warner-led side despite Liam Livingstone’s fighting 94.

RR suffered an even worse fate, getting bundled out for a lowly 59 by a rampant Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) attack after being set a challenging 172 to win on Sunday in the final match of the season at Jaipur’s Sawai Man Singh Stadium.

While the loser of today’s match joins DC and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in bowing out of the playoffs race, the winner will go level with RCB and Mumbai Indians (MI) on 14 points, both of whom have a game in hand. The winner of today’s game will then have to ensure both RCB and MI lose their final matches over the weekend for them go to through on the basis on Net Run Rate (NRR).
