    What's the story

    Rajasthan Royals are in the hunt for the playoffs race in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 season after defeating Punjab Kings in match number 66 in Dharamsala.

    RR failed to chase down PBKS's 187-run total in 18.3 overs or fewer to overtake RCB on NRR.

    Meanwhile, PBKS needed to restrict RR to 60 or below.

    RR are fifth and need help from others.

    Summary

    How did the match pan out?

    PBKS were reduced to 50/4 in 6.3 overs before Jitesh Sharma (44) and Sam Curran added a terrific 64-run stand.

    PBKS were then down at 114/5 before Curran and Shahrukh Khan ended the innings on a high.

    In response, RR lost Jos Buttler early on before Yashasvi Jaiswal and Devdutt Padikkal added 73 runs.

    PBKS responded with key scalps but RR prevailed.
