IPL 2022: Rajasthan Royals seek to break two-match losing streak against Punjab Kings
One of the biggest factors for Rajasthan's success has been the runs scored by swashbuckling opener Jos Buttler, who is leading the run-chart with 588 runs in 10 matches at an average of 65.33 and strike-rate of 150.76. In the match against Mumbai, Buttler was kept quiet in the middle overs despite late acceleration for a half-century and fell cheaply against Kolkata, though captain Sanju Samson got a fifty.

At the end of the day, it turns out that the risk was well worth the two points and a climb to third place in the points table. Though Avesh went for 0/26 in his three overs, Lucknow's other bowlers, left-arm pacer Mohsin Khan, right-arm pacer Dushmantha Chameera and left-arm spinner Krunal Pandya stepped up to be the main architects for a fabulous 20-run win coming completely on the back of the bowlers.

On a sticky pitch, at 98/1, things looked set for Lucknow to accelerate. But a middle-order wobble saw them lose five wickets for just 13 runs between overs 13-16, which eventually became six for 28 between overs 13-18. Rabada got the first breakthrough when his length delivery around off-stump nipped away to take the outer edge of K.L Rahul's defence to diving keeper Jitesh Sharma.

This is also the first time Lucknow skipper K.L Rahul will be facing his former franchise in the ongoing tournament after the right-handed opener left Punjab in the run-up to the mega auction. After winning the toss for just the second time in the tournament, Agarwal stated that his eleven is unchanged from their 11-run win over Chennai Super Kings. "We'd like to know what total to chase. There is very less dew here. The guys are quite flexible. It's going to be a terrific challenge."
