PBKS vs RR: Shikhar Dhawan-led PBKS hope to cap off IPL 2023 season with a win against inconsistent RR
PBKS and RR’s pattern of losses have more or less been the same. Both teams have failed to close out games and capitalize on big moments. While RR lost momentum in the back half of IPL, losing six out of seven games, PBKS never got into the top half of the points table.
It is the same old story for PBKS this season as well as, they have failed to collectively perform as a team. Lack of consistency with bat and ball has cost PBKS a likely playoff place. With one game to go, skipper Shikhar Dhawan would be hoping his team fires with bat and ball.
Meanwhile, RR have themselves to blame, as they failed to replicate the performance in the first half of IPL. Skipper Sanju Samson’s few decisions during the closing stages of matches have also been questionable. The skipper also failed to score runs in crucial matches.
Nonetheless, like PBKS, RR are still in the hunt for playoffs and needs to win their last match by putting on a good display with bat and ball.
