Check out the live streaming details for match 58 to be played at Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium, Dharamsala.
The Punjab Kings (PBKS) are determined to keep their 2024 Indian Premier League (IPL) playoff hopes alive as they prepare to face the resurgent Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in a crucial match on May 9th in Dharamsala. This match is a must-win for both teams as they strive to secure a spot in the playoffs.
Currently, Punjab Kings are in eighth place with 8 points from 11 matches. Their recent world record for the highest successful run chase in the T20 format, where they chased down 262 runs against Kolkata Knight Riders, was followed by a convincing win over Chennai Super Kings. However, they faced a setback in their second encounter with a 28-run defeat to Ruturaj Gaikwad's side. Now, PBKS must win all their remaining matches to have a chance at reaching the knockout stage.
On the other hand, Royal Challengers Bengaluru have made a strong comeback in the IPL, securing three consecutive victories after a series of losses earlier in the season. These wins have not only reignited their playoff hopes but also moved Faf du Plessis' side from the bottom to the seventh position in the IPL 2024 standings.
