Punjab Kings and Rajasthan Royals are locking horns in the 32nd match of the Indian Premier League 2021 in Dubai. Both teams have an indifferent season so far in the league but are currently eyeing to revive their campaign in the remaining matches in the UAE.
KL Rahul won the toss and opted to bowl first in Dubai against the Sanju Samson-led side. Both teams named a few changes in their playing XI due to several unavailable players. Adil Rashid and Aiden Markram are making their IPL debut for PKBS while Evin Lewis is drafted in the XI straightaway.

Livingstone started to tear off the PKBS bowling lineup with his hard-hitting ability. He was looking set to take Rajasthan Royals to a mammoth total until Fabian Allen took a sensational catch to cut short Livingston innings.
