Kings XI Punjab Playing XI: KL Rahul(w/c), Mandeep Singh, Chris Gayle, Nicholas Pooran, Glenn Maxwell, Deepak Hooda, Chris Jordan, Murugan Ashwin, Ravi Bishnoi, Mohammed Shami, Arshdeep Singh.

Rajasthan Royals Playing XI: Robin Uthappa, Ben Stokes, Steven Smith(c), Sanju Samson(w), Jos Buttler, Riyan Parag, Rahul Tewatia, Jofra Archer, Shreyas Gopal, Varun Aaron, Kartik Tyagi.

Abu Dhabi is one of the biggest grounds in UAE and team’s chasing have had the upper hand in recent games due to the return of the dew factor. Both teams have some power hitters in their team and it will be an interesting watch.
