Today Match Prediction for RR vs PBKS, Dream11 team IPL 2021 12th April

Today Match Prediction for RR vs PBKS: Match 4 of the IPL 2021 shifts us back to Wankhede Stadium as Rajasthan Royals will be taking on Punjab Kings on Monday. Both sides finished their campaign last year on the bottom half of the table. With some new additions in both the teams, the fans would expect a change of fortunes this year.

Today Match Prediction for SRH vs KKR:

Punjab Kings had a miserable start last season. Despite KL Rahul accumulating a truckload of runs, Punjab suffered consecutive defeats in the first half of the tournament. The inclusion of Chris Gayle in the second half saw a turnaround, but couldn’t manage to reach the playoffs. The Kings haven’t won a single title in the history of the tournament. Fans would hope that this might be the year for them. 

They have four top-class batsmen at the top, comprising KL Rahul, Mayank Agarwal, Chris Gayle and Nicholas Pooran. But who will finish the games for them? 2020 IPL highlighted their lower-order woes and it might come to haunt them once again.

 Punjab Kings have made a few inclusions to tackle that, buying the services of Shahrukh Khan, Moises Henriques and Fabien Allen. Also, with Mandeep Singh, Deepak Hooda and Sarfaraz Khan in their squad, they have enough options to choose from. 

The inclusion of Jhye Richardson makes Punjab a good fast-bowling line-up. The fast bowling trio of Mohammed Shami, Chris Jordan and Richardson would be good enough on any track. Besides, left-arm spinner Arshdeep Singh could be the X-factor player for their side. 

After achieving the title in the inaugural edition, Rajasthan Royals have been guilty of positioning themselves at the bottom half of the table on most occasions. They never had the dearth of quality players in their line-up but somehow fails to win the important games. 

Rajasthan, this year, boast of quality players in their set-up as well. Jofra Archer’s absence though would dampen their spirits. With a new skipper in Sanju Samson, it remains to be seen if they could spring a surprise this year. 

Just recently, they made IPL’s costliest buy in Chris Morris. He is likely to give an ideal great balance to the team. Also, they have bought the services of Shivam Dube, which make them the team with plenty of all-rounders. With Ben Stokes and Rahul Tewatia in the squad, the addition of Chris Morris and Dube would make them a strong unit. 

Ben Stokes, Chris Morris, Jos Buttler and Andrew Tye are likely to start as four overseas options. The only weakness you see with the franchise is the inexperience in the Indian bowling department. Hopefully, the likes of Jaydev Unadkat and Kartik Tyagi enjoy a great outing and this might turn out to be a successful season for RR. 

In RR VS PBKS match prediction, let’s look into some important stats from teams and the players from both sides:
