Rajasthan Royals had made a splendid start to their IPL 2020 season, but they lost their momentum in the competition's middle phase. RR are currently second last on the standings with just ten points from 12 matches. Still, the inaugural champions have a chance of qualifying for the playoffs.
The first condition for their qualification is that the Royals should win their remaining fixtures at any cost. Steve Smith and co. would be optimistic heading into their next match because they had defeated the Kings XI Punjab earlier in IPL 2020. Besides, they are coming off a brilliant win over the Mumbai Indians in their last match.
Meanwhile, the Kings XI had got off to a disastrous start in IPL 2020. They won only one game in the season's first half. However, they managed to quickly turn things around as they registered five consecutive wins in the second half.
KXIP vs RR is a high-stakes clash, and here's a look at the pitch report and weather conditions for this IPL 2020 match.
