Rajasthan Royals (RR) will face Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Wednesday, May 22, in the IPL 2024 Eliminator.
As the league phase drew to a close, both teams had contrasting fortunes. While Rajasthan failed to secure a victory in any of their May matches, Bangalore emerged victorious in all four of theirs. Faf du Plessis and his team are riding a remarkable six-match winning streak and are optimistic about advancing to Qualifier 2.
In contrast, Rajasthan started the season strongly with eight wins out of nine matches but faltered later, losing four consecutive games before their last league match was washed out.

RCB has the momentum on their side, but they must remain cautious as Rajasthan possesses several match-winners in their lineup. Earlier in the season, the inaugural champions defeated RCB by six wickets in Jaipur, successfully chasing a target of 184 runs with five balls to spare.

Pitch Report: Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad
The pitches at this venue are aiding the batting over the year. Contrary to expectations and local trends, the black-soil pitch in the last match here was low and skiddy, making it difficult for batters to get under the ball. the square boundaries are very big at this venue which will get the spinners into the equation.
The Narendra Modi Stadium has produced some fine batting surfaces this season, while others have been great for the slower bowlers. Both teams wouldn't mind a high-scoring encounter as their squads are well-equipped for such games.
The captain who wins the toss could opt to bowl first and assess the conditions. Also, the teams will keep an eye on Qualifier 1, which takes place on Tuesday, and take into account how much of a role the dew factor plays.
The weather in Ahmedabad has been dry leading up to this match. The forecast for match day predicts scattered showers but we are mostly going to have a full game.
