Match Preview: PBKS VS RR From Playing XI To Pitch Report Know All The Details Of Match Number 66 Here

Match Preview: PBKS VS RR – The match between Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) will be a sink or swim issue in HPCA Arena, Dharamshala, on May 19 to remain alive in the competition and fit the bill for the end-of-season games of the IPL 2023. Strikingly, the two groups lost their last match and, in the long run, risked their position in the focus table. In any case, success can keep them in the race, yet the net run rate will ultimately play a colossal role and determine their destiny in the competition.

Match preview: PBKS vs RR

In the meantime, the team led by Sanju Samson lost their most recent match by 112 runs, losing by 59 runs. As a result, their batters will need to significantly improve, and their bowlers also have a lot of room for growth. Leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal has been inconsistent this season, and they need quality Indian pacers in the blend. Sandeep Sharma has performed admirably, but consistency has been crucial.

With regards to the home side, Liam Livingstone played a sparkling thump in the last match, scoring 94 runs off only 48 deliveries. In any case, his power-hitting couldn’t help the Shikhar Dhawan-led side, as they were crushed by 15 runs. The bowlers will have to step up in their next match because they gave up 213 runs against DC, and the skipper will have to take on a lot more responsibility with the bat.

Pitch report

The Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium’s surface is ideal for batting. Bowling first is best because Dew can play a big role in the second half of the match, so anything close to 200 will be good.
