The eighth-placed Punjab Kings $\"\"$ are gearing up to host their storied rivals and the current table-toppers, Rajasthan Royals $\"\"$ , in match number 27 of the TATA IPL 2024 at the Maharaja Yadavindra International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur, Chandigarh.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

<\/p>\n\n

Rajasthan Royals enter the contest topping the table, despite a recent loss to GT in their previous fixture. Riyan Parag has been their standout batter, amassing 261 runs in five innings, including three half-centuries. Jos Buttler and Sanju Samson have also been significant contributors with the bat. In the bowling department, Yuzvendra Chahal leads with 10 wickets, supported by Nandre Burger, who has claimed six scalps. The team has performed brilliantly as a unit, with all players contributing in various situations. The Royals will be eager to return to their winning ways.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

<\/p>\n\n

Punjab Kings, on the other hand, have had a topsy-turvy tournament, winning two games and losing three. They are currently placed eighth in the table, but their performance has been more impressive than their position suggests, with four of their five games ending in last-over dramas. Ashutosh Sharma and Shashank Singh have shown glimpses of their potential with powerful hitting down the order in high-stakes matches. Their bowling lineup has seen balanced contributions from Arshdeep Singh, Kagiso Rabada, Sam Curran, and Harshal Patel, with tallies of 8, 7, 6, and 6 wickets respectively across five games. Desperate for a win, PBKS will also be looking to bounce back to their winning ways.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Sanju Samson, $\"\"$ Skipper: " We'll field first, it looks like a decent wicket to bowl first. We've made a target to not think about the goal, focus on the process, work on building the team and we're doing a good job. A lot of challenges outside as well, we've many players missing from tonight's match. Jos Buttler isn't 100%, Ashwin bhai is having a niggle, so Rovman and Kotian come into the eleven."<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

\nSam Curran, $\"\"$ Skipper: " Shikhar picked up a niggle, that's why I'm here. We would have fielded first as well, but we'll now have to put the runs on the board. The balance has been good, we'd have liked to win a few more matches, but the middle-order looks good, especially Shashank and Ashutosh. We've got exciting players and plenty of quality. We've Taide coming in for Shikhar tonight."<\/strong><\/span>

In a closely contested IPL match, $\"\"$ secured a 3-wicket victory against $\"\"$ with just one ball to spare. Punjab Kings set a target of 148 runs after being put into bat first. Their innings ended at 147 for 8 wickets in the allocated 20 overs. Key contributions came from Jitesh Sharma, who scored 29 runs off 24 balls, and Atharva Taide and Jonny Bairstow, both of whom scored 15 runs each. Rajasthan Royals' bowlers, including Avesh Khan and Trent Boult, were notable for their tight bowling, picking up crucial wickets and maintaining economic rates.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Chasing the target, Rajasthan Royals managed to reach 152 for 7 in 19.5 overs. Yashasvi Jaiswal was the top scorer with 39 runs off 28 balls, while Shimron Hetmyer provided a crucial unbeaten 27 from 10 deliveries towards the end, ensuring the win. Punjab Kings’ bowlers, particularly Kagiso Rabada and Sam Curran, tried to defend the total with Rabada taking key wickets early on. However, Rajasthan's lower order managed to scrape through, thanks to Hetmyer's late fireworks.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

The match was marked by tight bowling and strategic batting, reflecting the balanced nature of the game. Rajasthan's ability to maintain wicket partnerships and some critical fielding efforts, including a run-out, were significant in their victory.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

<\/p>\n\n

Sam Curran, $\"\"$ Skipper: " The wicket was a little slow, but we failed to start well with the bat and didn't end well. It was a good effort from the lower order, getting to 150 was excellent. The bowling was good, we kept things tight, but unfortunately another close loss. We stuck to our plans, bowled and fielded well, and I am confident we will bounce back in the next game."<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n

<\/p>\n\n

Sanju Samson, $\"\"$ Skipper: " We had fee funny instances from last year and this year while taking high catches. But I am really happy that everyone is eager to go and catch it. The stadium is full of noise and we can't look who is coming for the catch. I need to tell my fast bowlers that it's easier to catch with the gloves and let me do it. Against Punjab in the last 3-4 years, every game is very close. They bowled well, it was a funny game going from here to there. Hetmyer has been doing it for years and years, experience and composure is the key."<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n

\nShimron Hetmyer: " It's just practice, I try as much as possible in the nets. I try my best to hit maximums. I am happy that I helped my team today. There was creeping in the first couple of balls, afterwards, I tried to keep it as clear as possible and it paid off."<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","MatchOrder":"","MatchDateTime":"2024-04-13 19:30:00","Innings1Overs":"20","Innings2Overs":"20","ProjectedScore":"153","2ndProjectedScore":"0","3rdProjectedScore":"0","RemainingBalls":"1"}]});
