Mumbai, April 26: Rajasthan Royals notched up an important 29-run win over Royal Challengers Bangalore on Tuesday (April 26) in an IPL 2022 match and returned to winning ways.
The victory also fired RR on to the top and they stayed on course for a play-off berth.

Put into bat Rajasthan Royals' side got off to a poor start losing opener Devdutt Padikkal for 7, lbw to Mohammed Siraj in the second over of the match.

In the very next over, Josh Hazlewood dismissed Jos Buttler for 8 to leave RR tottering at 33 for 3.
Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson tried to resurrect the innings with Daryl Mitchell. The 35-run partnership was broken as Wanindu Hasaranga cleaned him up for 27 off 21 balls. Riyan Parag walked in carried the RR.

The Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will face Rajasthan Royals (RR) in an IPL 2022 match on Tuesday (April 26), and both the teams stand to gain a lot from this match.
The RCB under Faf du Plessis have gone out for top 4, by virtue of their net run rate sliding to negative space after the heavy defeat against Sunrisers Hyderabad. They need a win to get back to top 4.
On the other hand, the RR under Sanju Samson are placed 3rd with 10 points and a win will help them reach the top 2 and much firmer in their journey towards the playoffs berth.
So, it is going to be an enthralling clash and here's your chance to take part in this RCB vs RR contest.
