RR vs RCB: Match Preview:
Two teams with very contrasting journeys in the ongoing IPL 2024 will be up against each other in the Eliminator. RR spent the majority of the time in the league at the top of the points table before suffering an inexplicable collapse and eventually finished at the third spot.
The Sanju Samson-led side started its campaign with 8 wins from 9 matches. However, they have failed to sustain the momentum in recent times and are coming into this game on the back of four losses in row. Their last league game against Kolkata Knight Riders was washed out which means RR have not won a single match this month.
Their back is against the wall at the moment and they will have to come up with an extraordinary performance to win the game against a side that has looked unstoppable this month. RCB were all but ruled out of IPL 2024 after losing seven of their first eight games. When RR were sitting comfortably at the top of the table, RCB were languishing at the bottom.
However, the Bengaluru-based outfit turned things around in a spectacular fashion by winning 6 games in a row to storm into the playoffs against all the odds. In their last league game, they thrashed defending champions Chennai Super Kings in a virtual shootout and will now be looking to register another win. The winner of this game will face Sunrisers Hyderabad in the second qualifier for a place in the final while the loser will be knocked out.
