In a thrilling Eliminator clash of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024<\/strong>, Rajasthan Royals (RR)<\/strong> triumphed over Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB)<\/strong> <\/a>by four wickets at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The inaugural season champions will now meet Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in Chennai in the Qualifier 2. The winner of this contest will lock horns with Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR)<\/strong> in the final.<\/p>\n Batting first, RCB posted a competitive total of 172\/8 in their 20 overs. The innings was anchored by Rajat Patidar<\/strong>, who scored a brisk 34 off 22 balls, supported by crucial contributions from Virat Kohli<\/strong><\/a> (33 off 24) and Mahipal Lomror<\/strong> (32 off 17). Despite losing wickets at regular intervals, RCB managed to keep the scoreboard ticking, thanks to some lower-order hitting from Swapnil Singh<\/strong> (9 off 4) and Karn Sharma<\/strong> (5 off 4).<\/p>\n For RR, Avesh Khan<\/strong> was the standout bowler, claiming 3 wickets, but he gave away 44 runs in his 4 overs. Ravichandran Ashwin<\/strong> provided excellent support with 2 wickets for just 19 runs. Trent Boult<\/strong> and Yuzvendra Chahal<\/strong> chipped in with a wicket each, containing the RCB batsmen effectively in the middle overs.<\/p>\n Chasing 173, RR started strongly with Yashasvi Jaiswal<\/strong> leading the charge, scoring a fluent 45 off 30 balls. Contributions from Tom Kohler-Cadmore<\/strong> (20 off 15) and Riyan Parag<\/strong> (36 off 26) kept RR in the hunt. Despite some quick wickets in the middle overs, Shimron Hetmyer<\/strong> (26 off 14) and Rovman Powell<\/strong> (16 off 8) ensured RR crossed the finish line with an over to spare, finishing at 174\/6 in 19 overs.<\/p>\n RCB\u2019s bowling was spearheaded by Mohammed Siraj<\/strong>, who took 2 wickets for 33 runs in his 4 overs. Cameron Green<\/strong> and Karn Sharma<\/strong> picked up a wicket each, but their efforts were not enough to stop the RR batters from reaching the target. This victory propelled Rajasthan to the Qualifier 2. Meanwhile, RCB\u2019s journey ended here, as they bow out after a commendable season.<\/p>\n .@RCBTweets<\/a> had a great run this season.
