🏏IPL2022 Qualifier2: Rajasthan Royals vs Royal Challengers Bangalore🏏

The much-awaited Qualifier 2 of theIPL2022 will be played between the Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bangalore at Motera Stadium, Ahmedabad today.

⭐️You are here to fulfil your dream,and you must! Expectations are high, the message is clear to both the teams, this is a game, you must win! If you lose, game over! ⭐️

Flying high after a rich dose of luck and a breathtaking knock by Rajat Patidar took RCB past Eliminator 1! Now, they will fancy their chances against mighty Rajasthan Royals tonight at Motera Stadium, Ahmadabad today.

Both teams have played some excellent cricket throughout the tournament and are now just one step away from reaching the all-important final match of the tournament.

While RR lost their Qualifier 1 match against the new entrants Gujarat Titans (GT), RCB beat the other new team Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) to seal their place in Qualifier 2.

It is going to be an exciting contest with several star players including Jos Buttler, Sanju Samson, Virat Kohli, and Faf du Plessis among other players to play in the contest.

Rajasthan Royals would be dreaming of ending their long drought which extends back to the first IPL season when they hoisted the trophy.

Jos Buttler would be once again a key figure in the RR camp.

The RR talisman hasn't just aggregated the most runs this season but has also cracked 39 sixes.

Sanju Samson has been an able ally while Shimron Hetmyer has been the main disruptor of bowling attacks in the slog overs, even as he has found runs hard to come by in the second half of the IPL.

RCB can now dream of winning some silverware? They certainly have some momentum going into the Qualifier 2 against Rajasthan Royals.

They also seem to have a bit of rub of the green going their way this time around.

Yuzvendra Chahal:

The Purple Cap holder in IPL 2022, Yuzvendra Chahal will be playing against his former franchise once again and will want to provide vital breakthroughs to his new franchise RR. The leg-spinner has scalped a total of 26 wickets so far and will want to add a few more in his column.

Chasing team to win the match

toss winner to win the match

chasers

Du Plessis has been dismissed six times by left-arm pacemen in this IPL.

In the Powerplay, it is the delivery that moves across him (or straightens) that has accounted for his wicket on all four occasions.

Even in the Eliminator game, his front foot got opened up with the left elbow pointing more towards mid-on as he edged one behind. Boult, who has snared du Plessis's wicket three times in T20s, would be visualising such a dismissal.

Three of RCB's big four - Kohli, Du Plessis and Karthik - strike at under 100 versus Chahal.

Maxwell has found some success against Chahal by scoring 120 runs off 70 balls but he has also been dislodged five times by the leg-spinner.

The leg-spinner has also taken 14 wickets in the end overs this season.
