While Punjab has won their first two matches defending, they may face significant challenges while chasing scores. The team's batting lineup, aside from Dhawan, consists of inexperienced players who lack quality, with the exception of possibly Livi. If Dhawan is dismissed early, the team may struggle to maintain their position in the game.
Additionally, the return of Livi and Bhanuka

from injury is uncertain, and it remains to be seen how well they will perform. Furthermore, the team lacks finishers, with Curran being adequate and Srk performing poorly. This deficiency may lead to a typical PBKS collapse while chasing, resulting in a loss of a match that was almost won.
Although Punjab has a solid bowling attack at present, their batting is certainly weaker. As a result, they should continue to focus on defending in order to win more games. Until they can win a few matches while chasing, their chances of qualifying for the next stage are not particularly high.

They really should have made more than 200 against Rajasthan yesterday. 197 was a good score but from the position they were in they should have put the game beyond the Royals. Ultimately the injury to Buttler and poor form of Padikkal cost Rajasthan but it's still early days and PBKS are performing above expectations so far.
Paddikal should have opened innings yesterday management was responsible for that. He was good at that role for RCB.
Rajasthan want a left-hander to match-up against left-arm spin and wrist spin in the middle overs which is fair enough. I think Sanju Samson should have opened
