Rajasthan Royals will face the Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the eliminator to be played in Ahmedabad on 22nd May 2024. RR slipped down to 3rd place after their match against Kolkata Knight Riders was washed out due to rain.
On the other hand, Royal Challengers Bengaluru would be high on confidence after their brilliant performance against Chennai Super Kings. It was an all-round performance as Faf and Kohli looked in great touch while Rajat Patidar, Green, Maxwell, and Dinesh Karthik ensured that RCB posted 218 for 5 in 20 overs. The bowling also looked decent enough as Yash Dayal held onto his nerves to help RCB qualify for the playoffs stage.

RR vs RCB Pitch Report
The pitch used for the first qualifier 1 between KKR and SRH had some help for the bowlers. Mitchell Starc used it perfectly to put SRH batters under trouble as they bowled out them for 159. It was a dominating batting performance by KKR batters as they chased down the target in 13.4 overs.
It promises to be another good pitch that could have help for the bowlers. The captain that wins the toss would likely field first, restrict the opponent, and chase down the target.
