Punjab Kings 222/4 in 20.0 Overs | PBKS vs RR Live Score, IPL 2026: Marcus Stoinis fires at the death, brings up fifty as Punjab finish on 222

Shreyas Iyer has led brilliantly but the team as a whole too has functioned like a well oiled unit. Last season, they managed to defend the lowest total in IPL history and on a scorching Saturday in New Delhi, Iyer and Co. gunned down a record 265-run target with ridiculous ease.

Virat Kohli owned the tag of chase-master with his remarkable consistency over the years and now Shreyas Iyer too is on that path. As a leader and batter, he has displayed commendable calm in high-pressure situations to help Punjab Kings stay unbeaten in the tournament thus far.

Playing their last game of the season here before hosting their final three league games of the season in Dharamsala, Punjab Kings will be expected to steamroll Rajasthan Royals.

Sunrisers Hyderabad were able to chase down 229 against the Royals comfortably in the night game on Saturday. Their fielding too left a lot to be desired.

The Royals have lost momentum in the middle phase of the tournament having won their first four games. While teen sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has produced jaw dropping performances, the team has not been able to maintain consistency.

“I think different venues everyday, different games, different ways to approach it. I feel we don’t know how Chandigarh is going to be as of now. I mean, they chased down a big score, yes, in Delhi, but Chandigarh is a new ground and a new wicket, a new soil. So hopefully, it doesn’t go to that extent,” said Parag.

Batting first, Punjab Kings had pummelled 254 in their previous game at their home ground.

The Royals would be hoping to bowl first considering the phenomenal chasing abilities of Iyer and his team.
