PBKS vs RR Today Match Prediction, IPL 2023, Who Will Win the Match?
Punjab Kings
Punjab Kings would be backing themselves to win this PBKS vs RR game in IPL 2023. The outfield is fast, ground is small and shot-making is easy in Dharamshala and the PBKS batters would love to score heavily on this ground.
RR are coming on the back of a hammering at the hands of Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in their previous game and they would be low on confidence.
Team Update/Players Availability/Injury News
There is no injury news for this game. Jos Buttler, Yuzvendra Chahal, Shikhar Dhawan and Arshdeep Singh would be key players to watch out for in this PBKS vs RR game.
