The Narendra Modi Stadium will see a Royal elimination battle here as temperatures can soar to 45 degrees C. There’s also red-hot excitement for the Rajasthan Royals v Royal Challengers Bengaluru clash.

Contrasting fortunes

The two teams have had contrasting fortunes in the league phase. The Sanju Samson-led Rajasthan were off to a high-flying start, winning eight of their first nine ties. On the other hand, RCB lost seven of their first eight. The trend reversed in the second phase of the league when RR lost their last four matches while one was washed-out, to drop out of the top-two race. RCB clinched the fourth spot in the Playoffs with a close win over the Chennai Super Kings being their sixth win on the trot.
