WLP T20 League 2026: PP vs RL Match 9 Prediction, Fantasy Cricket, Head to Head

Match 9 of the World Legends Pro T20 League 2026 between the Rajasthan Lions and Pune Panthers is expected to be an exciting match as both teams try to build momentum in a closely contested points table. This match is set to take place at the 1919 Sportz Cricket Stadium in Goa on Friday, January 30, 2026, at a pivotal point in the league. After defeating the Dubai Royals by 16 runs in their last match, the Rajasthan Lions are confident going into this match. That win emphasised their bowling discipline and middle-order depth, which allowed them defend a small total successfully. With seasoned campaigners like Jean-Paul Duminy, Suresh Raina, and Eoin Morgan in their ranks, Rajasthan appears to be well-suited to deal with pressure.

In contrast, Pune Panthers just suffered a crushing 59-run loss to Delhi Warriors, in which their bowlers gave up 218 runs. This season, they have also had trouble hitting, especially when it comes to sustaining a solid strike rate during the middle overs. Knowing that another defeat might severely harm their campaign, Shane Watson's team will be desperate for a turnaround.
