RR vs RCB Dream11, IPL 2024 Eliminator: Prediction, Possible Playing 11, Squads as Rajasthan go against Bengaluru

RR vs RCB Dream11, IPL 2024 Eliminator: Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RR) will go against each in the Eliminator of IPL 2024 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Bengaluru on Wednesday, May 22.

Rajasthan Royals had to settle with a shared point in their last league match against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) due to incessant rain in Guwahati. Like Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), they finished with 17 points but fell behind them due to an inferior Net Run Rate (NRR).

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), on the other hand, finished at fourth spot after beating CSK by 27 runs in their last league game. RCB had to beat CSK by 18 runs at least to pip their NRR and qualify for the final four.

The two sides met each other earlier this season on April 6. In the match, RR defeated RCB by six wickets. The winner of the IPL 2024 Eliminator will play in Qualifier 2 against Sunrisers Hyderabad, who lost Qualifier 1 against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) by eight wickets on Tuesday.

RR vs RCB Match Prediction

RR and RCB have endured contrasting tales in the second-half of IPL 2024. While RCB went on to win their last six games after losing seven of their first eight games, RR have lost four matches on the bounce, and their last match against KKR got abandoned due to rain. RR won eight of their first nine games.

The momentum is on RCB's side, and they would look to encash it further. RR will be without their opener Jos Buttler as he is back in England for the Pakistan T20Is. RR look ahead of RCB in the terms of their bowling potential at the moment.

But to capitalise on that, their batters will have to first roar back to form. RR have been restricted inside 150 runs in their last two games. For now, RCB have a slight upper hand against RR.
