Rajasthan Royals (RR) will take on Punjab Kings (PBKS) in match number 59 of IPL 2025 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Sunday, May 18. This will be the day match of the double-header. PBKS have 15 points from 11 matches and are on the verge of sealing a berth in the playoffs. On the other hand, RR have been knocked out and will be playing for pride. They have managed only six points from 12 matches so far.
Punjab's previous match against Delhi Capitals (DC) in Dharamsala was abandoned after 10.1 overs. In the duration of play that was possible, PBKS' openers were completely dominant as Priyansh Arya and Prabhsimran Singh hammered half-centuries. Before the clash against DC, Punjab won two games in a row. Both their batting and bowling departments were in great rhythm.
Rajasthan came close to registering a rare win in IPL 2025 in their previous match against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the Eden Gardens. However, yet again, they fell short in a chase. Set a target of 207, they finished on 205-8 despite skipper Riyan Parag's sensational 95 off 45 balls.
