Dharamshala in Himachal Pradesh will be the venue for the key league match on Friday. Punjab Kings, who have been defeated in their own ground, are looking for a good win and keep the honor. Shikhar Dhawan’s team is showing strength in both batting and bowling. And Rajasthan Royals suffered a death blow at the hands of Royal Challengers Bangalore in their own ground.
Together they lost by a huge margin of 112 runs. Rajasthan Royals, who were at the top of the points table at the start of the tournament, went down. Today’s match will be crucial for that team. Rajasthan has a reputation as a team with an excellent batting line-up, but it is getting its hands on the real time.
The strange thing is that the respective teams are either winning at their home grounds or not. Both Chennai and Bengaluru on the other hand, Rajasthan has lost its reputation. And today there is great excitement about who will win in Dharamshala.
Both Punjab and Rajasthan have only one match left in the league. Both teams have 12 points with 6 wins and 7 losses. Even if they win, they won’t qualify for the playoffs. In order to qualify, Mumbai Indians, RCB and KKR will have to lose their respective league matches.
