Toss Results
Rajasthan Royals wins toss and opts to bowl first.
KL Rahul: I would’ve looked to bowl as well, but looks like a good wicket, so will remain the same for the 40 overs. It’s just everything coming together, the last four or five games, we’ve come really well. It’s good to see and it’s been a complete team effort. We would look to go out there and enjoy ourselves.
Steve Smith: We will bowl. Don’t know what happens here with the dew, so we are gonna chase tonight. It’s been a bit of up and down tournament for us. It’s been a tough one, we’ve got Varun Aaron is in.

How the fate of 4 teams are dependent on today’s match between KXIP vs RR
Kings XI Punjab : If they can win today against Rajasthan Royals, they can be the biggest contender for playoff spot. Two wins (Royals & CSK) will definitely take them into the playoffs. Even if they lose to the Royals on Friday, Kings XI can still qualify if they win their last game and if other results go their way.
Rajasthan Royals : RR has to first of all win today against KXIP if any hopes of playoff has to kept alive. If they lose, they will be eliminated today. If they win both their games (KXIP, KKR) and hope that CSK defeat Kings XI, Sunrisers win no more than one, then the Royals will be through without NRR coming into play.
Sunrisers Hyderabad : SRH will have win their two remaining games (RCB, MI), and hope that at least one out of Royal Challengers, Delhi Capitals and Kings XI don’t reach 16. In that case, the Sunrisers will surely progress to the playoffs because their NRR is superior to all the teams.
5.30pm
KXIP vs RR Last Meeting
The previous match between Kings XI Punjab and Rajasthan Royals ended up being a run fest, with both teams scoring over 200 runs, but it was Sanju Samson’s half-century and an incredible knock of Rahul Tewatia that helped RR edge KXIP.
5.10pm
Stokes performance will be key for RR tonight!
The Royals will also be high on confidence after their morale boosting win over table toppers Mumbai and would be desperate to keep the winning momentum going. The biggest positive for the Royals is Ben Stokes roaring back to form after rusty displays in previous five outings. The English all-rounder, who has been elevated to the role of opener, smashed an unbeaten 107 to help seal a seven-wicket win over Mumbai earlier this week.
