PBKS vs RR IPL 2023 Match 66 Team News, Injury Update

PBKS Team News vs RR: Punjab Kings have no injury problems at the moment. But there can be a few changes in their lineup ahead of the Royals tie.

PBKS brought in Kagiso Rabada and Atharva Taide for the last match, which worked partially for them. Rabada failed to exert his class while Taide played a decent knock of 55 runs. The South African spearhead may get replaced and Sikandar Raza can come in place of him.

RR Team News vs PBKS: A crushing 112-run defeat has jeopardized the Royals hopes for playoffs. Although they can still make it, they will have to depend on other results. RR may make a couple of changes of their own in the final league game.

Adam Zampa looks set to be dropped and Jason Holder can come in place of the Aussie spinner. Similarly, they may add Riyan Parag to add their batting strength in the upcoming match. Jos Buttler and Sanju Samson have been underwhelming in previous few matches, and they need a quick resolution of that.
