IPL 2022, PBKS vs RR: Punjab Kings, Rajasthan Royals look to stay in playoffs race
Languishing at the bottom half of the points table, the 7th ranked Punjab side has once again been plagued by habitual inconsistency and as a result have managed to win only five of their 10 outings so far. Already into the business end of the tournament, Punjab sorely needed a comprehensive win to resurrect their wayward campaign, and the eight-wicket win over the Titans came at the right juncture. Steered by Kagiso Rabada's four-wicket burst and Shikhar Dhawan's elegant half-century, the win over Gujarat with four overs to spare also pushed Punjab's net run rate from -0.470 to -0.229.
