Hello and welcome to ABP’s live coverage of the IPL 2023 game. Punjab Kings will be facing Rajasthan Royals in the 66th game of the IPL 2023 on Friday at the scenic Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala. This game will be the last group-stage match for both teams. Talking about Punjab Kings’ position, they have won six games out of 13 they played and are at the 8th spot in the points table.
Rajasthan Royals, on the other hand, have sealed six victories out of 13 games and are at sixth position in the points table. If Sanju Samson’s team want to make it into the playoffs, they have to win this game.
Punjab Kings are coming into this clash after winning their last game against Delhi Capitals but they are still out of the race to make the IPL 2023 playoffs. Rajasthan Royals have struggled lately in the tournament as they faced an embarrassing loss at their home ground in Jaipur in the previous game against Royal Challengers Bangalore. They were dismantled for just 59 runs in 10.3 overs.
