Rajasthan Kings Team News & Playing 11
RK Team News
With a 7 wicket win over Delhi Devils in Match 13 of the tournament, Rajasthan Kings took themselves to the top of the table ahead of Friday’s fixtures. So far in this competition, the Kings have beaten Kandy Samp Army, Colombo Lion and the Devils to post six points.
RK Team Batting
Chasing 165 for victory in their last game, Rajasthan Kings got home with eight balls remaining thanks to an unbeaten fourth wicket partnership of 143 between Angelo Perera who made a remarkable century and Peter Trego’s 42 not out. Perera will be seen as the key wicket in this match.
RK Team Bowling
Manpreet Gony used all of his 40 years of experience to lead the bowling attack in the win over Delhi Devils and we expect the right-arm fast medium bowler to be tough to face once again in this clash. Alongside Gony, Parvinder Awana is also in strong form.
RK Team Form
Rajasthan Kings lost their second match but are now targeting their third successive victory in the tournament.

New York Superstar Strikers Team News & Playing 11
NYSS Team News
Some pundits were backing New York Superstar Strikers to go through the entire group stage of this year’s tournament with a 100% record but that is no longer possible after they were beaten by 5 wickets by Kandy Samp Army in their last match. It will be very interesting to see how they respond to defeat in this clash.
NYSS Team Batting
The general feeling at the Pallekele Stadium in Match 11 was that New York Superstar Strikers were five or ten runs under-par in their last match and so it proved. Asela Gunaratne (four fours and three sixes) and Colin de Grandhomme (four fours and two sixes) may be pushed up the order for this match after strong returns in the middle order in the last game.
NYSS Team Bowling
Looking to defend a competitive target of 154, New York Superstar Strikers could only dismiss half of the batters but did take the game into the final over. Ahead of this game, Yuvraj Singh will be looking to Rahul Sharma and Nuwan Pradeep who both took two wicket hauls in the last match.

🏆 Rajasthan Kings vs New York Superstar Strikers Prediction
With these sides locked together at the top of the table on six points, there is plenty to play for in this game. New York Superstar Strikers had been leading the way but came up short in the last game and they wil have to start another winning run now. Rajasthan Kings are the side in the better form ahead of this match and we are backing them to win.
