As expected, this match was really interesting and worth watching, however at the end Royal Challengers Bengaluru would be disappointed to not to make it to the finals, and ending their winning streak on this important Eliminator match against Rajasthan Royals. Remember that RR lost to Kolkata Knight Riders in the first Qualifiers so they must have been down in the emotions and Royal Challengers Bengaluru winning the consecutive last many matches went in the match with more positive energy but the results came unexpected.
Virat Kohli and team did not bat well in the first innings and this was the main reason of them not able to give a more competitive target. 173 runs was not a big score to chase on wickets where teams score 200 and still remain in doubt of the results.
Royals eliminate RCB to set up knockout against SRH. Now they will be tested against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the 2nd Qualifier tomorrow. Today is a rare day in the IPL schedule where we have no match.
