The upcoming match between Punjab Kings and Rajasthan Royals will take place on May 19, 2023, at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamshala. The pitch at this venue is known to favor batsmen, while fast bowlers also enjoy bowling there due to the good pace and bounce it offers. The majority of matches played at this stadium have been low-scoring affairs.
Punjab Kings currently have 12 points from six victories in the tournament and are in the playoff race. Their bowling team has performed well throughout the competition, but they will be relying on their batting unit, particularly players like Prabhsimran Singh and captain Shikhar Dhawan, to make substantial contributions in the upcoming match.
On the other hand, Rajasthan Royals started the season strongly but lost momentum in the second half, losing six of their final eight games. Yashasvi Jaiswal has been a standout performer for them in the batting department, and he will carry the hopes of many in the upcoming match.
