Punjab have won 6 and lost as many of the 12 matches they have played in the tournament and are placed at number 4 on the points table. Rajasthan have won 5 and lost 7 of the 12 matches they have played in 2020 and are at number 7. Punjab are on an incredible run in the second half of the tournament. After losing six of their first seven matches, they turned around their campaign by winning five on the trot. On Friday evening in Abu Dhabi, KL Rahul-led Kings will lock horns with Rajasthan to put one foot in the playoffs. Rajasthan, who failed to live up to the hype after their first two matches, need a win to stay alive in the competition. A loss will knock them out. Kings, with five consecutive wins, are now the team to beat. Maxwell conundrum: Punjab's primary concern will be the form of Australian batsman Glenn Maxwell. The 32-year-old, bought by the Punjab franchise for Rs 10.75 crore, is struggling. He hasn't hit a single six in the 120 balls he has faced so far. Maxwell has crossed the 30-run mark once, and his strike rate is 102.00, which is staggeringly less than his tournament rate of 155.01. Stokes hitting form: On a positive note, Rajasthan's camp must be relieved with Ben Stokes hitting form. Stokes scored a match-winning century against table-toppers Mumbai. However, it took the England all-rounder six matches to get going. With the ball, Stokes is yet to take open his account. Punjab started the tournament with a bang but then lost their way in the middle losing 5 consecutive matches before staging a remarkable fightback. KL Rahul, their skipper, has been the highest run-scorer of the tournament with 595 runs from 12 innings. Mohammed Shami, with 20 wickets has been their leading wicket-taker and the most outstanding bowler of the tournament. A win for Punjab would significantly increase their chances to qualify for the playoffs. Rajasthan have won 2 of their last 3 encounters and are making a mini-comeback of their own after losing 4 of the 5 previous matches. To have any hopes of qualifying for the playoffs, the Rajasthan not only need to win their remaining two encounters but also hope that the various permutations and combinations go in their favour. Ideally, they would want Punjab, Kolkata and Hyderabad to lose as many matches as possible. Sanju Samson is Rajasthan's highest scorer with 326 runs in 12 matches at a strike rate of 157.48 while Jofra Archer has been their stand alone bowler with 17 wickets at an economy rate of just 6.71! WHAT: Punjab vs Rajasthan , Match 50, Indian T20 League 2020 WHEN: 30th October, 7:30 PM IST WHERE: Abu Dhabi, UAE Punjab Team News: The injured Mayank Agarwal is likely to make a comeback and will open with KL Rahul. In that case, the impressive Mandeep Singh will go lower down in the order and Deepak Hooda will miss out. It would be interesting to see what Punjab do with Glenn Maxwell. Will he be promoted to number 3 to play a cameo just to shake things up? Rajasthan Team News: Rajasthan are unlikely to tinker with the winning combination - the XI that chased down 195 against Mumbai in Abu Dhabi. The only possible change could be Ankit Rajpoot who went for 60 against Mumbai being replaced by Jaydev Unadkat - it would also add variety to the attack. Head-to- Head Record – Last 5 Matches Punjab hold a 3-2 advantage over RR based on the last 5 matches between the two sides. Sanju Samson's brilliant 85 off just 42 deliveries helped RR chase down a record 224 runs against Punjab in Sharjah in the first encounter between the two teams in 2020. Punjab won both, the home and away matches against Rajasthan in 2019.
