It will be a run-fest at Guwahati as the pitch here is a great one for batting and both Rajasthan and Punjab have some destructive batters in their ranks. The average first innings score here in T20Is is 178 runs. There will be some help for the pacers in the power play while the spinners will get little to no help off the deck. Teams will prefer chasing.
It will be a clear day with no chance of rain.
There are no updates about Liam Livingstone and Kagiso Rabada. They are unlikely to play this game.
Anrich Nortje should return in the XI for the Delhi Capitals.

Jos Buttler: Jos Buttler scored 54 runs off just 22 deliveries in the first game against SRH. He won the orange cap last year and started off this season in style as well. Buttler is amongst the best players in T20 cricket and he’ll be the best captaincy choice for this game.
Sam Curran: Sam Curran scored 26* runs and then picked up 1 wicket as well. He’s an excellent all-rounder and has been in terrific form in the last few months, especially with the ball. He can bowl in any phase and will be a top captaincy pick.
Sanju Samson: Sanju Samson scored 55 runs in the last game. We all know how capable he is with the bat. Samson is a key batter for Rajasthan and he’ll look to continue his excellent form in this game. Sanju will be an ideal captaincy option.

Jitesh Sharma: Jitesh Sharma will be the best differential pick. He scored 21 runs in just 11 balls against KKR. Jitesh will bat in the middle order and he bats very aggressively. He can score big in this game, especially when Punjab is batting first.
Ravichandran Ashwin: Ravichandran Ashwin can pick up a few wickets in this game as Punjab has 3 left-handers in their batting unit and Ashwin has an exceptional record against the lefties. He may get promoted like in IPL 2022. Ashwin will be an excellent differential pick.
