🏏IPL 2023: Match 66 - PBKS vs RR on 19/05/2023 at 7:30 PM IST 🏏 - Page 4

The last lap has begun with today's game. Every win or loss will have a defining result. No slip-ups are allowed. Knock-out punches or meek jabs, what shall we witness tonight? For a change MI and RCB won't mind Punjab winning this as their NRR is in the negative. So every team other than focussing on their own game will also have keen eye on the other results.

Look, over there, it's the last-chance saloon! Who fancies a lock-in? That's where Rajasthan Royals and Punjab Kings are headed in a contest that doesn't even qualify as winner-takes-all. The winner gets the chance to stare into their drink as they lean on the bar and await the results of the final group-stage games, specifically those involving Royal Challengers Bangalore and Mumbai Indians on Sunday. Defeats for either of those, and yes, there will be a chance of qualification for the play-offs... but it could be an anxious few days. Perhaps the sweet release of elimination will be preferable!

any tips ....please share 😊

Trevor Bayliss | PBKS Head Coach: We'd like to finish on a high tonight. With the players we've had available for this series, we've been reasonably happy. We've lost a few close ones, we've won some close ones. We said at the start we had a reasonably young inexperienced team and to go so close so far, I think it's been a reasonable tournament for us. A little bit of lack of experience to start with, but the only way you get experience is by exposing these guys to playing. Jitesh and Prabhsimran have done really well. Looking forward to seeing how they progress over the next couple of years. From a bowling sense, we got to pitch the ball up just a fraction more in the first six overs and use the wicket with the new ball. There's not much room for error on this wicket. You've got to be very accurate but you also got to be understanding that some of your good balls will be going for a boundary as well.

Pitch Report | Murali Kartik and Matthew Hayden: "It's the same surface which was used against DC. Talking about dimensions, it's equidistant on either side - 65 metres apiece, a hit straight downtown is 76 metres. Tonight it's a similar surface, although I do note one change is it there isn't so much of that green, that live grass into it. It's not going to have as much movement off the seam inside the powerplay. Don't think it's gonna help the spinners much either. Good batting track. I would bat first, the dew is not going to be a factor either. Bat first, know your total and get about defending it. That's key tonight."

Hoping tiday shikhar uses his brain and captains wisely 😒 he needs to avoid previous match mistakes
