Rajasthan Royals have remained inconsistent throughout this season, especially they looked baffled when the middle order came into play, and for that they have lost their last three matches. They started off the tournament really well, but the streak of losses struck them hard. Though the first couple of wins have placed them in a good situation, from where they have a chance to bounce back.

Why having two matches in hand is an upper hand?

Currently. Rajasthan is the only team that can reach to 16 points, the magic figure of qualifications, and if they win their last two games, they will not have to think about other teams; but losses will make it complete, any of the loss will stop them at 14 points where two other teams can also reach, DC and CSK, and PBKS and KKR can reach up to 15 points, so when every other team is going to play one match, RR with two matches left is very much their hopes very much in the line.
