Rajasthan will host Punjab in their first game at home in TATA IPL 2023 at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati on Wednesday, April 5 2023.
Last season runner-up Rajasthan kicked-off the season with a magnificent win over Hyderabad by 72 runs at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. While Punjab has also beaten Kolkata Knight Riders in its opening game at Mohali by 7 runs (DLS Method).
The pitch will behave very batting friendly. A high scoring game can be seen at this venue. It might be true if we will see 200+ in first inning.
Take a look at the 3 Players who can score the most runs in today’s clash
1. Jos Butler
The explosive RR opener has been in superb form since last season of IPL 2022. He was the orange cap winner last year. He has scored 863 runs in 17 matches at an average of 57.53 and a strike rate of more than 150, hitting four centuries.
Butler is continuing the same form in this season too and scored a quick fired 54 runs against SRH in just 22 balls including 7 fours and 3 sixes with the strike record of 245.45. Hoping another explosive knock from him today as well.
