Head to Head
It’s hard to go past the unbeaten PBKS here.
RR lead the all-time series 17-13 across 30 meetings, but PBKS won the last two encounters including a 10-run win defending 219 at this ground in 2025. This ground averages 212 in the first innings this season with two of three games won by the chasing side.
PBKS have scored at 11.74 per over in IPL 2026, the fastest any team has ever scored across a full season, and their batting average per wicket of 43.83 is also the highest in IPL history.
RR’s bowling may present a challenge. Archer has 13 wickets this season and Burger has induced false shots off 46% of all deliveries. But RR’s middle order is really batting, with their number 4 to 8 averaging just 20.6 with a strike rate of 126, the worst middle order in the competition.
It’s hard to see RR’s middle order keeping up with the flying PBKS. Stick with the home side.
Best Bet
Iyer has four half-centuries this season, including three in his last four knocks, and is averaging 447 runs in successful PBKS chases since 2025, the most of any batter. Against RR’s average middle-overs bowling on a flat Mullanpur surface, another big score is on the cards.
Value Bet
Sooryavanshi has 357 runs this season including a century in his last game against SRH and sits second in the competition for batting strike rate at 234. He has 15 powerplay sixes and faces a Chahal who is leaking 11.1 per over in his last four games. On this surface, against a spinner out of form, he is capable of finishing this game over in the first six overs.
