Punjab Match Preview
The Punjab team’s performance this season has been ordinary. However, in the final match, PBKS bowled excellently, limiting the champion team from the first match to 144 runs. Harshal Patel, Sam Curran, and Rahul Chahar bowled superbly. The last match saw the Punjab Kings defeat the Rajasthan Royals by 5 wickets. Let us inform you that owing to poor performance in the first half of the season, the squad has been eliminated from the playoff competition. Shashank Singh, who took command of the squad in Sam Curran’s absence, will play his final game of the season and hopes to do it brilliantly. He has a formidable batting team in front of him, and Singh will also need outstanding performances from his bowlers. Prabhsimran Singh is in fantastic form this season and hopes to get off to a strong start alongside Harpreet Bhatia. Riley Rossow is a crucial member in the middle order, where he will strive to score runs alongside Shashank Singh and AtharvaTayde. Jitesh Sharma and Ashutosh Sharma hope to do well in the final overs. Arshdeep Singh and Nathan Ellis will seek to do well with the new ball, as the Sunrisers’ top order is in excellent form.
