The 66th Match of the Indian Premier League(IPL) 2023, will be played between Punjab Kings and Rajasthan Royals at Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium, Dharamsala on 19th May. So it's a final league match for both the teams and for both they still have an outside chance to qualify but after this match one team will be out and the other will hope that results go their way. For Punjab Kings just one day back they played on the same venue so far they would have understood how the pitch is bit in the previous match on bowling first conceded 213 runs, Sam Curran was the only Bowler who got wickets and other just went for runs with Shikhar Dhawan poor Captaincy of bowling the final over from the spinner but with the bat Liam Livingstone fought hard as he scored 94 runs but Punjab Kings lost the match by 15 runs. On the other hand Rajasthan Royals still are figuring out how they got all-out at the score of 59 runs against RCB, their batting got a dent but the only positive thing they have is that their net run rate is still positive and if they win here there will be chances of them qualifying. We might witness another High scoring encounter as both teams have explosive batting line-up.
