IPL is all set to restart with all teams gearing up for the mega event. All teams will have to build their momentum from the scratch as it is a fresh start but the teams in the bottom half cannot afford to lose more matches as they might be pushed to elimination with every loss. Punjab Kings and Rajasthan Royals are both reeling at the bottom half and will need a win in their first match to put a right step in the tournament. Both teams have a lot of new faces as replacements and will look to work on their best playing XI to get the right team balance.

Liam Livingstone – Livingstone is in his form of life and he has never got a continuous game time in IPL so far. With Buttler and Stokes missing he will be their key player in the middle overs in this match.

Dubai will have a hot and humid weather with no chances of even a slight drizzle. Players will need to keep themselves hydrated in the temperatures of early 40s.

Dubai is one of the bigger grounds where we can see a lot of singles and doubles and lesser boundaries. Pacers might enjoy early assistance from moisture and spinners will get assistance as the match progresses. We expect the average scores to be around 150-160 runs in this match.

The pitch is expected to slow down as the match progresses and almost 20+ run difference between average scores of teams batting first and second. We expect both captains to bat first on this pitch.
PBKS vs RR
Winning Prediction
Punjab kings have been very smart in their replacement players picking in-form players. They have a quality batting line-up and bowling attack but their only worry is lack of an all-rounder in top-6 which leaves them with only 5 bowling options. Rajasthan Royals have new look batting line-up but are a very capable one to perform well in these conditions. They rely heavily on the foreign recruits in both batting and bowling departments with very less contribution from local players especially in batting department. We expect Punjab kings to win this match.
PUNJAB KINGS will win the match
