The inaugural Indian Premier League (IPL) champion Rajasthan Royals (RR) will take on the 2014 season's runner-up Punjab Kings (PBKS), previously known as Kings XI Punjab, in match four of the 2021 IPL at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Monday.

HEAD-TO-HEAD: (21 MATCHES - RR 12 | PBKS 9)

Rajasthan has faced off against Punjab 21 times in the IPL since 2008, holding a 12-9 win-loss advantage. RR wasn't part of the tournament in 2016 and 2017 due to a two-year betting ban.

RECENT FORM:

In the last five encounters between the two sides, the Royals hold a slight edge over the Kings, winning three times. RR won both the games against PBKS last season.

During match nine of IPL 2020 in Sharjah, Rajasthan defeated Punjab by four wickets with three balls to spare after successfully chasing a mammoth 224. Quickfire half-centuries from Steve Smith, Sanju Samson and Rahul Tewatia overpowered Mayank Agarwal's 106 on the night.

During the reverse fixture in Abu Dhabi, the Royals came up with a brilliant chase yet again as they achieved a target of 186 in just 17.3 overs. An all-round performance from Ben Stokes (50 runs off 26 balls and 2/32 in four overs) gave RR the win, despite PBKS star Chris Gayle scoring 99 in the first innings.
