PBKS vs RR Live Score, IPL 2023: Rajasthan alive, but very narrowly after this win

 

The Rajasthan Royals needed to chase down the target of 188 in only 18.4v overs or less to get ahead of the RCB’s net run rate. However, they could do it in 19.4 overs and as a result, remain behind the Faf du Plessis-led side. However, if RCB lose their last game by a margin of more than six runs and Mumbai lose their last game to SRH, then Rajasthan could enter the playoffs. 

 

As for now, they will rue having conceded 46 runs in the last two overs and also the fact that Riyan Parag played five dot balls in the 18th over. However, they have moved to the fifth position in the points table with 14 points to their name.

9:26 PM

PBKS vs RR Live Score, IPL 2023: Rajasthan need 188 to win and remain in the hunt

 

Sanju Samson would be pulling his hair for saving a Yuzvendra Chahal over for the 19th over as the latter was hit for 28 runs by Shahrukh Khan and that changed the momentum of the entire game. In the 20th over, even the yorkers were going for four and catches were being dropped and Boult ended up conceding 18 as well. 

 

All of this led to 46 runs being scored in the last two overs and the Punjab Kings’ total rose to 187/5 in 20 overs. It is at least 20 more than what the Royals would have liked to chase. But now they would have to chase this down if they are to remain in the race to the playoffs.
