The Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bengaluru will square off in the Eliminator at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad with just three games remaining in the IPL 2024 season. This match is a "do or die" situation; the victor advances to Qualifier 2, where they will face Hyderabad to secure a spot in the championship, while the loser is eliminated from contention. With eight victories in their first nine games, Rajasthan enjoyed a fantastic start to the season and appeared headed for a top-two finish. They finished outside the top two in third place, though, having lost their next four games and been eliminated from their final league stage match. If Rajasthan wants to get back up and take the title seriously, this is their last chance. From Bengaluru's perspective, their run to the playoffs has been nothing short of extraordinary.
