PBKS beats RR by 5 runs in IPL 2023: Dhawan’s unbeaten 86 leads Punjab Kings to victory

PBKS, led by Shikhar Dhawan, continued their winning streak in IPL 2023 as they defeated RR by five runs in Guwahati on Wednesday. Batting first, PBKS put up a challenging total of 197/4 in 20 overs, thanks to Dhawan’s unbeaten 86 off 56 balls and Prabhsimran Singh’s 64 off 34 balls. Rajasthan’s experiment of sending R Ashwin to open the batting failed as they lost early wickets, including Ashwin and Buttler, in the powerplay. Samson tried to steady the innings, but Nathan Ellis’s four-wicket haul restricted Rajasthan’s progress. Shimron Hetmyer and Dhruv Jurel kept Rajasthan’s hopes alive with some big hits, but Sam Curran’s exceptional final over secured the victory for PBKS.
