PBKS vs RR, Live Score: Here’s what Shikhar Dhawan said at the toss

“Last match, dew wasn’t much. First batting or second, it shouldn’t change much. We will come and enjoy the game. Will try to give our best shot. We need to take more wickets in the first 6 overs. We can cash in more. We are playing the same team.”

PBKS vs RR, Live Score: Here’s what Sanju Samson said at the toss

“We will bowl. Looking at the dimensions and looking as to what we require in the tournament, it is better to bowl. We need to win the game. Then see how the other games go. If you want to play good T20 cricket, you need to forget things. We have had four to five days off. One has to understand the conditions. We have couple of changes. Last minute changes. Ashwin misses out because of a back spasm.”

PBKS vs RR, Live Score: RR win toss, opt to bowl

Rajasthan Royals skipper Sanju Samson won the toss and opted to bowl against Punjab Kings in the IPL 2023 match.  

PBKS vs RR, Live Score: Pitch report

“It’s the same surface which was used against DC. Talking about dimensions, it’s equidistant on either side – 65 metres apiece, a hit straight downtown is 76 metres. Tonight it’s a similar surface, although I do note one change is it there isn’t so much of that green, that live grass into it. It’s not going to have as much movement off the seam inside the powerplay. Don’t think it’s gonna help the spinners much either. Good batting track. I would bat first, the dew is not going to be a factor either. Bat first, know your total and get about defending it. That’s key tonight.”

PBKS vs RR, Live Score: Back again at Dharamsala

PBKS vs RR, Live Score: PBKS’ loss against DC

Shikhar Dhawan used left-arm spinner Harpreet Brar in the 20th over against Delhi Capitals and it backfired massively, effectively making the difference in the game. On the batting front, Dhawan too has not been able to get going in the last two games and would want to lead from the front.

PBKS vs RR, Live Score: Weak bowling attack of PBKS

The season has told a familiar story for perennial under-performers Punjab Kings, who once again could not seize the crucial moments in the business end of the tournament. The pace department has been guilty of leaking too many runs in both the powerplay and death overs. With the likes of Kagiso Rabada, Sam Curran and Arshdeep Singh conceding close to 10 runs per over, the team is bound to feel the pressure.

PBKS vs RR, Live Score: Must-win match for both the teams

Considering their superior net run rate, Royals are better placed than Punjab Kings ahead of their final league game but both will have to rely on other results after an up and down season.
