RAJK vs CW Match Prediction & Analysis Shriram Book
Shriram Book Rajasthan Kings take on a struggling Punjabi Sher as they aim for a hat-trick of wins. They bounced back brilliantly after a losing start to the season with back-to-back wins in the Legend 90 League 2025.
Punjabi Sher failed to defend 93 runs in their last match in a 10-over-per-side game. The opposition chased down the target in just 6.3 Overs with 8 wickets in hand.
They made major changes to the batting lineup, which worked out fine. Nevertheless, PNS are still winless in the tournament. Rajasthan Kings, on the other hand, are in great form with back-to-back wins.
Their bowlers led them to their first win of the season while the batters joined the party in the next game leading the side to a huge total. Skipper Faiz Fazal was exceptional in the middle order in their recent win over Big Boys.
Punjabi Sher will face a very tough challenge in this game. They need a big comeback from their bowers to stop an in-form Rajasthan Kings batting lineup.
TEAMS PREVIEW
Rajasthan Kings Preview
Most of their key players are in great form. Skipper Faiz Fazal and Gaurav Tomar are crucial in the middle order. Their knocks in the last game played a big role in taking the Kings to a highly competitive score.
Both Phil Mustard and Asad Pathan found their touch at the top and got the Kings off to a flying start. Everything turned out perfect for Rajasthan Kings in their last outing.
Manpreet Gony continued his good form in the lower middle order to play yet another fine finishing knock. Rajasthan Kings have successfully defended 197 and 128 in their last two games.
Ankit Rajpoot is back in the side and looks threatening with the ball. While Shahbaz Nadeem and Shadab Jakati are the key bowlers in this side, Gaurav Tomar is also back in form, delivering consistent breakthroughs for the Kings.
There is great variety in the bowling attack and skipper Faiz Fazal will be confident taking on Punjabi Sher after two consecutive wins. The bowlers will pose a tough challenge to PNS in this game.
Rajasthan Kings Predicted Playing XI:
Phil Mustard (wk), Gaurav Tomar, Faiz Fazal (c), Asad Pathan, Rajat Singh, Manpreet Gony, Munaf Patel, Ankit Rajpoot, Shadab Jakati, Shahbaz Nadeem, Sudeep Tyagi
Chhattisgarh Warriors Preview
Punjabi Sher desperately need a win here. Despite some good batting performances from their key players, PNS have found themselves on the losing end in all their games so far.
Ahsaan Siddique’s 58 off 31 while opening the innings headlined Punjabi Sher’s batting effort in their last game. Siddique led the side to a 93-run score in a 10-over game while batting first.
There were some huge changes to the batting lineup after the batting collapse in the previous game. Jesse Ryder, Robbie Frylinck, Andy McCarthy, and Anand Singh were all out of the XI.
Aditya Chhabra led the team in the absence of Narsingh Deonarine. Not just that but even most of their bowlers were replaced. No Jon-Russ Jaggesar, Javon Searles, Nicholas Gordon, or Ishwar Pandey were part of the playing XI against GJS in the last match.
Santosh Soni, Amrut Pal Singh, and Yashwant Singh Thakur are now leading the bowling attack for Punjabi Sher. There are no well-known legends from foreign countries in the XI. Neither have we seen an ex-Indian cricketer or someone who’s been a legend in the domestic circuit.
As such, things will get even more difficult for PNS and they might be on the back foot once again.
Chhattisgarh Warriors Predicted Playing XI:
Sandeep More (wk), Ahsaan Siddique, Aditya Chhabra (c), Amrut Pal Singh, Kamal Purohit, Kapil Malani, Atul Joshi, Yashwant Singh Thakur, Santosh Soni, Yuvraj Singh, Rupeesh Singh Rajput
Weather Conditions
It will be a clear day in Raipur with a high of 26 degrees Celsius around the match time. We don’t expect any cloudy skies on the match day and it should be an uninterrupted game of cricket.
RAJK vs CW Pitch Report
It is a batting-friendly wicket and there are plenty of runs to be scored in both innings. The average 1st innings score in the last 5 matches here is 134 runs. We reckon this can be a match-winning total if the team batting first can get it on the board.
Toss: To Bowl
Teams bowling first have won 4 of the last 5 matches. Though Rajasthan Kings have successfully defended a total in their last two matches, it will be a better choice to bowl first against Punjbai Sher.

Winning Prediction
Punjabi Sher completely changed their playing XI in the last game. They don’t look in good shape and have no reliable players in the side. Rajasthan Kings have a clear edge in this contest and will start as favorites in our match prediction
