KXIP vs RR Fantasy Prediction: Kings XI Punjab vs Rajasthan Royals – 30 October 2020 (Dubai). Two teams fighting for a single playoff spot are up against each other in this all-important game. 

Kings XI Punjab will take on Rajasthan Royals in the league match of IPL 2020 aka Indian Premier League which will be played at the Zayed International Stadium in Abu Dhabi.

Kings XI Punjab are on a run of five consecutive wins and are looking unstoppable at the moment. They just need to win their remaining two games and they will confirm their place in the playoffs as their destiny is in their own hands. Chris Gayle is in brilliant form with the bat whereas the bowlers are on fire as well for this side. However, the team will miss the services of Mayank Agarwal in this game as well.

Rajasthan Royals, on the other hand, registered a brilliant victory in their last game and need to win their remaining two games in order to maintain their hopes for the playoffs as their destiny is not in their own hands and one defeat will end their campaign. The likes of Sanju Samson and Ben Stokes are in brilliant form with the bat whereas Jofra is spitting fire in his bowling. This is a Do or Die game for this side.

KXIP vs RR Team Wicket-Keeper

KL Rahul (Price 11), Nicholas Pooran (Price 9.5), and Sanju Samson (Price 9) will be the wicket-keepers of our squad. Rahul is the highest scorer of the tournament and has scored 595 runs at an average of 59.50. He is in brilliant form and just cannot be dropped whereas Pooran has played some really crucial knocks for this side and has scored at an average of 40.88 this season. Samson, on the other hand, played a brilliant knock in the last game with the bat and would like to continue his good form in this game as well.

KXIP vs RR Team Batsmen

Chris Gayle (Price 9) and Mandeep Singh (Price 9) will be our batsmen from the Kings XI Punjab. Gayle has been playing really well this season and has scored a couple of half-centuries in the five games he has played whereas Mandeep scored a brilliant half-century in the last game and is a useful opener in the absence of Mayank Agarwal,

Steve Smith (Price 9) will be our batsman from the Rajasthan Royals. Smith has not performed really well in the tournament but he will bat in the top-order and is majorly picked to complete the mandatory 3 batsmen quota in the team.

KXIP vs RR Team All-Rounders

Ben Stokes (Price 9.5) will be our all-rounder from the Rajasthan Royals. Stokes scored a brilliant half-century in the last game and proved his class with the bat. He is expected to continue his momentum and perform again in this Do or Die game.

KXIP vs RR Team Bowlers

Jofra Archer (Price 9.5) will be our bowler from the Rajasthan Royals. Archer has been spitting fire at the moment and it is almost impossible to face him in the powerplay overs. He has picked 17 wickets in the tournament and is bowling at a pace of over 150 km/h.

Mohammad Shami (Price 9), Chris Jordan (Price 8.5), and Arshdeep Singh (Price 8) will be our bowlers from the Kings XI Punjab. Shami has been the best bowler of the side and has picked 20 wickets in the tournament whereas Arshdeep has also bowled well and has 9 wickets under his belt. Jordan, on the other hand, has picked five wickets in the last couple of games and his death bowling has been fantastic.

Match Prediction: Kings XI Punjab will be the favourites to win this game.
