Punjab Kings (PBKS) vs Rajasthan Royals (RR) IPL 2026 LIVE Cricket Score Updates: Marcus Stoinis’ powerful knock of 62 in just 22 balls helped Punjab Kings post 222/4 in 20 overs after being asked to bat first by Riyan Parag. Stoinis slammed Brijesh Sharma for two sixes and three fours to take 24 off the final over.
The confidence is through the roof, his batters all locked and loaded to fire 24×7, Shreyas Iyer and Co. have resumed their hunt for the elusive trophy for Punjab Kings this season by hitting top gear from game day 1. No team or hurdle has had them stumble so far, as yet. So much so that not even a 265 mountain at the Kotla grounds in the capital could stop the Punjab juggernaut over the last week.
Led by the menacing top-order artillery of Priyansh Arya and Prabhsimran Singh and an uber-cool Iyer, Punjab shattered the T20 world record for the highest successful chase ever, making the most deadly side on the table today.
And as they step out to take on a similarly promising and exuberant Rajasthan Royals, Mullanpur can expect some fireworks on Tuesday night. In sheer contrast, the only blip for the Royals thus far has been the form of their skipper, Riyan Parag, who has blown hot and cold with the bat. There will be a Sooryavanshi wave in the offing that the Punjab bowlers will be wary of after a pale outing against Delhi.
