Mohammed Shami and KL Rahul have had a really good record in UAE. Their contribution to the squad in the powerplay will be very crucial for the team. Chris Gayle doesn’t feature in the playing XI on his birthday today. Nicholas Pooran and Fabian Allen will be key players to make an impact today. With Chris Gayle out, the captain will have to anchor the innings well for the squad.

Rajasthan Royals have the sole support of Sanju Samson who can keep the game alive till the very end for the Rajasthan Royals.
