Eliminator of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 will see Rajasthan Royals (RR) go head-to-head against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) on May 22nd, Wednesday, at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
Since the start of May, the Rajasthan Royals fell off a cliff as they suffered four straight losses and no result to close out their league-stage campaign. Thanks to this poor form, they dropped to the third spot. Their batters barring, Sanju Samson and Riyan Parag have failed to get going over these losses. In their 2024 league stage encounter, RR defeated RCB on the back of Jos Buttler's stunning century in Jaipur.
In contrast, the Royal Challengers Bengaluru have put no wrong step through May and won every single game through the month to seal playoff qualification. The RCB batting which seemed out of sorts in the first half has seen nearly all its batters score runs consistently with brilliant strike rates. Royal Challengers Bengaluru won six consecutive matches to seal playoff qualification.
The journey to the playoffs for both RR and RCB have had two extremes, which is why their match in the Eliminator stage of the IPL 2024 could be an instant classic.
