Match Review

     On Wednesday, April 5, at Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati, Rajasthan Royals and Punjab Kings played in the 8th match of the Indian Premier League 2023.

     Dhawan and Prabhsimran each scored 86* and 62 runs for PBKS, helping them to a massive total of 197/4 in 20 overs. Ravichandran Ashwin and Yuzvendra Chahal each took one wicket for RR, while Jason Holder took two. As Nathan Ellis and Arshdeep Singh each claimed four wickets, RR lost a few early wickets. 

     To make the game go to the final over, Shimron Hetmyer and Dhruv Jurel held down the fort. Nevertheless, Sam Curran brilliantly defended 16 runs off the last over, limiting RR to 192/7, therefore the pair was unable to push RR over the finish line.
