Rajasthan Royals will look to stop their own slide and end winning streak of Royal Challengers Bengaluru when the two sides collide in the IPL 2024 Eliminator at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Wednesday (May 22).
Sanju Samson-led Royals head into the crucial knockout clash on the back of a 4-match losing streak with the latest defeat coming against Punjab Kings, while Faf Du Plessis’ RCB sealed their playoff spot with an impressive 27-run win over Chennai Super Kings to extend their streak to 6.

In the most recent outing, RR saw their chance to go second end in disappointment after their clash against table-toppers Kolkata Knight Riders was washed out in Guwahati. RCB, on the other hand, successfully restricted CSK to 191 after setting a target of 219 in Bengaluru.
RR, however, will look to take confidence from their reverse fixture win over RCB after Jos Buttler’s century overshadowed Virat Kohli’s ton as the home side chased down a challenging target of 184 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur.
The Bengaluru-based side also possess a decent record against the Rajasthan side in IPL over the years. The two sides will clash for the 32nd time in IPL and for the third time in Ahmedabad. Now, let’s take a look the RCB vs RR stats, results and record:
In the 31 RCB vs RR head to head meetings in IPL since 2008, RCB has a slight edge with 15 wins against RR, who have won 13 times against the Bengaluru-based franchise, while 3 matches have ended in No Result.
