Punjab Kings (PBKS) are up against Rajasthan Royals (RR) in their final league match of the IPL 2023 season at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala on Friday night. Both sides need to win this match to keep their slim hopes of qualifying for the IPL 2023 Playoffs stage alive. Both team are on 12 points each but RR have better NRR of 0.140 as compared of -0.308 of PBKS.
However, a win might not be enough for both RR and PBKS. They will have to hope that Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Mumbai Indians (MI) all lost their final league matches so that 5 teams can end on 14 points each to give the team with best NRR chance to qualify for the Playoffs stage.
RR have won just 1 game in their last five matches and are coming into this clash on the back of a massive 112-run loss at the hands of RCB after being bowled out for 59 in Jaipur. PBKS also lost their last match, to bottom-placed Delhi Capitals earlier this week in Dharamsala and have done slightly better than RR – winning two out of their last 5 matches.
