Rajasthan Royals began the IPL 2024 season well but seemed to lose momentum with four losses in four games. At one stage in the tournament, the Royals were top of the table before slipping to second. SRH’s win over PBKS and the eventual washout against KKR meant that RR could only finish third in the table.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru and their resurgence during the IPL 2024 season have been stuff of legends. From being almost on the cusp of elimination to winning five matches in a row, RCB performed a remarkable turnaround. Needing to win the final game of the season by a minimum of 18 runs, RCB scored 218 runs and contained CSK to just 191 to win by 27 runs and seal a spot in the playoffs.

Pitch report
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.
