PUN vs RAJ My11Circle Prediction: IPL Fantasy League Strategy, Tips & Team Combinations

Match 40 of the Indian Premier League 2026 will see the Punjab Kings face the Rajasthan Royals at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, Mullanpur, and is expected to be a high-scoring contest. Punjab Kings head into this fixture on the back of an impressive victory over Delhi Capitals. Chasing a total of 265, they made light work of the target, getting there in just 18.5 overs with six wickets to spare.

A strong start from the top order, with Prabhsimran Singh smashing 76 off just 26 balls, while Shreyas Iyer anchoring the chase with a 71 off 36, laid the foundation of the win. Rajasthan Royals, meanwhile, are coming off a disappointing outing against Sunrisers Hyderabad, where they ended up on the losing side by five wickets.

Despite putting up 228 on the board, they were unable to defend the target, and SRH chased it down in 18.3 overs. On the batting front, Rajasthan were outstanding, led by Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s 103 off just 37 deliveries, but their bowlers struggled to deliver, as apart from Jofra Archer, every other bowler was smashed all over the ground.
