The Mullanpur Stadium in Chandigarh will host the PBKS vs RR IPL 2024 on Saturday, April 13. The match starts at 7.30 pm IST and is the third home match for Punjab Kings.
Punjab Kings come into this match after a loss to SRH in their previous match at this venue. They could not chase 182 and lost the match by just two runs.
Jaydev Unadkat somehow managed to defend 29 over despite the heroics of Shashank Singh and Ashutosh Sharma, who played blind.
Meanwhile, Rajasthan Royals lost their first match of the season, and that too at home when Gujarat Titans stranded the Royals’ fortress at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium.
They chased down 197 and won a last-ball thriller as Rahul Tewatia and Rashid Khan won the match for the Titans. The Royals won their previous away match against the Mumbai Indians and this is their second away match.
After Rajasthan’s loss to GT, every team has lost at least one game in IPL 2024 so far. RR, KKR and LSG have lost one each. CSK and SRH lost two each, GT, PBKS and MI lost three each, and RCB and DC lost four each.
The Punjab Kings have two venues this year. They play five home matches at the Mullanpur Stadium in Chandigarh and two more at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamshala. They play against CSK and RCB in Dharamshala.
