Punjab Kings (PBKS) will host Rajasthan Royals (RR) in Match 27 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, with both teams seeking redemption after recent defeats. The match will take place at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur, Chandigarh, on Saturday, April 13.
Rajasthan Royals suffered their first loss of the season against Gujarat Titans (GT), who edged them out in a thrilling last-ball encounter. Despite this setback, RR remains at the top of the points table with eight points. Meanwhile, PBKS sits in eighth place, having lost three out of five matches. Despite their close call in the last game, they fell short of victory.
Although RR remains a formidable team in the tournament, they have lost some momentum, providing an opportunity for Punjab to seize the advantage and make a comeback.
