The Rajasthan Royals will be eager to lock in their top-two spot by winning their match against Punjab Kings on Wednesday. Rajasthan have proven to be one of the best teams in the IPL so far. However, the Sanju Samson-led side is currently going through a rough patch with three successive losses in the tournament. Their losing streak began after a 1-run loss against Sunrisers Hyderabad.
The Jaipur-based side lost their next game to the Delhi Capitals by 20 runs before conceding a third defeat on the trot to the Chennai Super Kings. The match against Chennai began with Rajasthan winning the toss and electing to bat first. Simarjeet Singh had different plans for the 2008 IPL winners as the Chennai pacer scalped three wickets to curb them at 141/5. Chennai won by five wickets, with captain Ruturaj Gaikwad anchoring the innings through his stable 42 runs on a tricky wicket.
The IPL clash between the Rajasthan Royals and Punjab Kings will be hosted at the Barsapara Stadium in Guwahati on May 15.

They are currently on a two-match losing streak with defeats against the Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
