IPL 2023 RR Vs PBKS LIVE: Shikhar Dhawan, Nathan Ellis star as Punjab Kings beat Rajasthan Royals by 5 runs
IPL 2023 RR Vs PBKS LIVE Cricket Score Updates, Rajasthan Royals VS Punjab Kings, Full Scorecard: Punjab Kings pacer Nathan Ellis ran through the Rajasthan Royals side picking 4 valuable wickets of Sanju Samson, Jos Buttler, Riyan Parag and Devdutt Padikkal as the Royals fell 5 runs short of the target. Samson's 42 and Shimron Hetmyer's 36 off 18 balls kept RR in the hunt as it looked like they would overhaul the target in the penultimate over, but Sam Curran somehow restricted the batsmen to only 10 runs in the final over, making it just the third time that Punjab Kings have won their first 2 games of a season in the history of the Indian Premier League! Earlier on, Shikhar Dhawan played a captain's knock of unbeaten 86 runs off 56 balls, and was well supported by Prabhsimran Singh who blazed to 60 off 34 balls, as Punjab Kings set a total of 197 runs off their stipulated 20 overs in Guwahati on Wednesday.
Toss: Sanju Samson calls it correctly, and Rajasthan Royals have won the toss and elected to bowl first. Punjab Kings will bat first.
