IPL 2023 27th Match Review

Punjab Kings are going to host Royal Challengers Bangalore at their home ground in this important match. The performance of Punjab Kings had been good than Royal Challengers Bangalore in this edition of IPL till now. Punjab Kings had played a total of five matches with three wins to their name. They had lost two matches and are holding the fifth position on the points table. They are tied in points with Lucknow Super Giants, Chennai Super Kings, and Gujarat Titans and another win in this match will move this team to the second position of the points table. The performance of Royal Challengers Bangalore had not been much impressive in this edition of IPL. They had won just two out of three matches played so far. They had lost three matches and are situated in the 7th position on the points table. This match is very important for both teams to better their position on the points table.

Punjab Kings Reviews

Punjab Kings lost two matches in a row against Sunrisers Hyderabad and Gujarat Titans but they bounced back and won their most recent match against Lucknow Super Giants with a margin of two wickets. The bowling unit of this team is strong and they have also more options to use the bowlers as per requirements. Their most recent match against Lucknow Super Giants is a big example of it where they used seven bowlers. Matthew Short is leading the bowling unit of this team with Arshdeep Singh, Kagiso Rabada, Sam Curran, Harpreet Brar, Sikandar Raza, and Rahul Chahar. These all bowlers performed well in their most recent match and leaked just 159 runs in 20 overs. The skipper, Sam Curran was the most successful and highest run-scorer from their side with three wickets to his name in four overs against 31 runs. Kagiso Rabada was the other bowler who had an outstanding performance with the ball. He had two wickets in four overs while he was charged with 34 runs. Arshdeep Singh was not performing well in previously played matches but he performed well in the most recent match and picked one wicket in three overs against 22 runs.

Harpreet Brar and Sikandar Raza also performed well and picked one wicket each in the previous match. Sikandar Raza become the first Zimbabwe players who won the match of the match award in the Indian Premier League. The batting order of Punjab Kings is also strong but we don’t think that they were good in the previous match where they chased a low target of 160 runs in 19.3 overs. Atharva Taide and Prabhsimran Singh open the batting inning of Punjab Kings but failed to provide a good opening start and both opening batsmen came back to the pavilion with a total of just 17 runs. Matthew Short, Harpreet Singh Bhatia, and Sikandar Raza are handling the middle batting order of this team and all batsmen performed well in the middle order. Sam Curran, Jitesh Sharma, and Shahrukh Khan did not perform well in the lower batting order. Sikandar Raza proved the most successful and highest run-scorer from their side with 57 runs to his name on 41 balls with the help of four boundaries and three huge sixes. Matthew Short was the other batsman who had an outstanding performance with the bat and scored 34 runs. He faced 22 balls and smashed five boundaries and one huge six. Shahrukh Khan scored 23 runs on just 10 balls with the help of one boundary and two huge sixes and remained not out till the chase of the target. Harpreet Singh Bhatia scored 22 runs.

Royal Challengers Bangalore Reviews

Royal Challengers Bangalore had not been consistent in this edition of IPL. They won their very first match of this tournament but failed to continue the winning momentum. They had lost their matches against Kolkata Knight Riders, Lucknow Super Giants, and Chennai Super Kings and had beaten Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals in this tournament. Their most recent match against Chennai Super Kings was very interesting and also a high-scoring match where a total of 444 runs were scored in both batting innings. The bowling unit of Royal Challengers Bangalore is very strong on paper and they have the bowlers like Mohammad Siraj, Wayne Parnell, Wanindu Hasaranga, Vijaykumar Vyshak, Glenn Maxwell, and Harshal Patel but these all bowlers totally failed to give the best performance and leaked 226 runs in 20 overs. Mohammad Siraj was the only successful bowler from their side who leaked the run under the economy of ten runs per over. All other bowlers were charged for more than ten runs in each and every over. Mohammad Siraj was charged with 30 runs in four overs and picked up one wicket.

Wayne Parnell, Wanindu Hasaranga, Harshal Patel, Glenn Maxwell, and Harshal Patel picked one wicket each in the previous match. The batting order of Royal Challengers Bangalore is strong and they have the best batsmen of T20 cricket like Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis, and Mahipal Lomror in the top order, and Glenn Maxwell, Shahbaz Ahmed, Dinesh Karthik, and Suyash Prabhudessai in the middle and lower batting order. These all batsmen performed well and scored 218 runs while chasing the target of 227 runs in 20 overs. Glenn Maxwell was the most successful and highest run-scorer from their side with 76 runs to his name on 36 balls with the help of three boundaries and eight huge sixes. The skipper, Faf du Plessis also had an outstanding performance with the bat and put some runs on the board. He scored 62 runs while he faced just 33 balls and smashed five boundaries and four huge sixes. Dinesh Karthik was struggling with his form in previously played matches but he performed well in the previous match and scored 28 runs. Suyash Prabhudessai scored 19 runs. Virat Kohli was in good form in previous matches but failed to put some big runs on the board and came back to the pavilion with a total of just six runs. Mahipal Lomror failed to open the account on the scoreboard while Wayne Parnell and Wanindu Hasaranga scored just two runs each.
