In the IPL 2024 Eliminator match in Ahmedabad, Rajasthan Royals are aiming for a strong start as they chase a target of 173 runs set by Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB).

RR started well with Yashasvi Jaiswal building good partnerships with Tom Kohler-Cadmore and captain Sanju Samson.

With Riyan Parag and Shimron Hetmyer in, RR needed 58 runs from the last six overs, but RCB still looked strong due to their fielding and the mistakes made by RR in running between the wickets.
