On Wednesday, May 15, Rajasthan Royals (RR) will host Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the 65th match of IPL (Indian Premier League) 2024 at Baraspara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati.

RR suffered their fourth loss, third in a row, in the previous game against the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) by five wickets. However, the loss didn’t have a strong effect on their rank, keeping them in the second position with 16 points and a positive net run rate of +0.349.

On the other hand, PBKS have had a contrasting campaign compared to the Royals. They are languishing at the bottom of the points table, having lost eight out of 12 games, including the most recent one against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) by 60 runs.

On that note, here are the three differential picks you can opt for in the upcoming RR vs PBKS Dream11 match.
