Match Details:

The 50th match of the Indian T20 League 2020 will be played between Punjab and Rajasthan at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi.

This game is scheduled to start at 07:30 PM IST (06:00 PM local time) (02:00 PM UTC). The game will be telecasted on the Star Sports Network (Available in English, Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Bengali). Also, live streaming will be available on Disney+ Hotstar VIP.

Preview:

After losing a string of matches in the first half of the league stage, Punjab have been on a roll, winning matches on the trot and making their way back into the contention for the playoffs. They were pitted at the bottom of the points table for a considerable amount of time, but have now risen to the 4th spot, staging a great comeback.

Rajasthan, on the other hand, have had an on and off-season so far and are just on the brink of missing out for a place in the top 4 at the end of the league stages. In their last match, Rajasthan emerged out to be the victorious. But, in this match, scoring a win would be a difficult task for them as Punjab would be putting in all of their efforts to get to a win.
