Match 8 of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023, will witness two in-form teams Rajasthan Royals and Punjab Kings battle it out at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium to gain dominance. 

The Sanju Samson-led Royals will play their first home game this season, after making light work of their opening match against Sunrisers Hyderabad, winning the encounter by 72 runs.

On the flip side, Shikhar Dhawan's Punjab Kings will be playing their maiden away match this edition, after rain helped them clinch their opening game against the Kolkata Knight Riders in Mohali.
