Rajasthan Royals will look to sort out their batting woes and bring their campaign back on track, while an inconsistent Punjab Kings will be eager to keep the winning momentum going at the Wankhede Stadium on Saturday.
Rajasthan are third on the points table, and it is mostly because of the flamboyant Jos Buttler. The two other men at the top - skipper Sanju Samson and Devdutt Padikkal - have been good in patches and need to shoulder more responsibility, especially with the team shuffling the No.4 spot. If they get going alongside the big-hitting Shimron Hetymer, the trio can tear apart any bowling attack.
The Punjab bating unit has been plagued by inconsistencies. The likes of Shikhar Dhawan, who has been the side's best batsman, Liam Livingstone and Bhanuka Rajapaksa can tonk the ball, but they need to fire in unison to build or defend a huge total.
