The Punjab Kings (PBKS) return to action after an unfortunate washout in their last game, where they had raced to 122/1 in just 10.1 overs before rain had the final say. Momentum in T20 cricket can be fleeting, and PBKS will be eager to pick up where they left off when they face the eliminated Rajasthan Royals (RR) in Match 60 of IPL 2025 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur.
RR, on the other hand, are looking to salvage pride in what has been a disappointing campaign. With Sanju Samson set to return, the Royals will hope to sign off their home leg on a high. But against a red-hot PBKS outfit that has been firing on all fronts, that won’t be easy.

The Jaipur surface has played well for batters this season with high-scoring games. However, as this is a day game, expect some grip and assistance for spinners. The pitch tends to be slightly two-paced, and slower bowlers may find more help as the game progresses. Seamers, especially in the first innings, have struggled to make inroads.
