Rajasthan Royals will be playing against Punjab Kings in match number 8 of IPL 2023 on Wednesday.

Punjab Kings take on Rajasthan Royals in match number 8 of IPL 2023.

Buoyed By Huge Win Against SRH, Rajasthan Royals Ready For Punjab Kings Challenge

Rajasthan Royals would be banking on their near-perfect combinations in almost all departments of the game to put up another commanding performance when they take on a strong Punjab Kings side in an IPL match in Guwahati on Wednesday.
