Kings XI Punjab are set to take on Rajasthan Royals at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi on Friday in what is being termed as a straight shootout in the battle of playoffs in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020.
Kolkata Knight Riders lost their match against Chennai Super Kings, opening a road for Rajasthan Royals to come into the race for playoffs. While KXIP arecurrently sitting at the fourth spot with better net run-rate than many teams and 12 points, Rajasthan Royals are seventh with 10 points. However, if RR win against KXIP, they will jump to the fifth spot and replace KKR while going equal in points with KXIP.
Whereas KXIP would hope to continue their dream run in the second phase of IPL 2020 and stitch another win and go to 14 points – equal with Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bangalore.
