Preview:
After losing a string of matches in the first half of
the league stage, Punjab have been on a roll, winning matches on the trot and
making their way back into the contention for the playoffs. They were pitted at
the bottom of the points table for a considerable amount of time, but have now
risen to the 4th spot, staging a great comeback.
Rajasthan, on the other hand, have had an on and
off-season so far and are just on the brink of missing out for a place in the
top 4 at the end of the league stages. In their last match, Rajasthan emerged
out to be the victorious. But, in this match, scoring a win would be a
difficult task for them as Punjab would be putting in all of their efforts to
get to a win.
