The Indian Premier League is embarking on a new adventure, as it makes its way to the ACA Stadium in Assam for a high-profile fixture. The stadium has previously hosted two ODIs and two T20Is, with two further matches abandoned due to rain. Last year, plans to bring the IPL to Assam were also canceled due to Covid-19.
However, the wait is over, and two high-flying teams are set to clash in this exciting match. Rajasthan Royals, who have a long-standing partnership with the Assam Cricket Association, won their opening match comfortably, thanks in large part to Jos Buttler’s explosive knock of 54 runs from just 22 balls. On the other hand, Punjab Kings managed to hold their nerve in a rain-affected match against Kolkata Knight Riders, eventually winning by seven runs on the DLS method.
Both teams have a 100% record so far in the tournament, and tonight’s fixture promises to be a thrilling encounter. The question on everyone’s mind is, which team will come out on top? Will Rajasthan’s Buttler be able to repeat his heroics from the first game, or will Punjab’s solid team performance be too much for them to handle?
One thing is for sure – this match is not to be missed. With two strong teams battling it out in a new and exciting location, the IPL is sure to deliver yet another unforgettable evening of cricket. So sit back, relax, and get ready for an evening of non-stop action, drama, and excitement as the Rajasthan Royals take on the Punjab Kings in the Assam Cricket Association Stadium.
