Raphinha had earlier scored twice for the Catalans at Parc des Princes, slotting in the opener late in the first half and then volleying in an equalizer to make it 2-2 just after the hour mark.

For Royals, it will be about making the most of home conditions and inching closer to sealing a playoffs berth, while Titans need to address the injury woes and bring their campaign back on track. True to its reputation, the surface could suit the batters and expectations will be high from Jos Buttler. Overcoming a lacklustre start to the campaign, Buttler showcased a resurgence in form against Royal Challengers Bengaluru with an unbeaten century and steered his team to victory. The England limited-overs captain enjoys a promising record against Titans - amassing 190 runs in five innings - though...
