RR vs RCB, IPL Toss Result: Today's match players list, teams & umpires for Match 73 (Qualifier 2)
Rajasthan Royals (RR) will meet the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in Qualifier 2 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 on Friday. The action for the last two matches of what has been a long edition shifts to the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
The equation is pretty simple for both the teams in action on Friday. The winner will meet the Gujarat Titans (GT) in the final while the losers and pack their bags for home.
Rajasthan get a second shot at the opportunity to be in the final, having gone down to Gujarat in Qualifier 1. Opener Jos Buttler’s return to form was the biggest positive for RR in the seven-wicket loss to GT. Sanju Samson got another start but did not convert it into a big score. There will be pressure on him to correct the anomaly.
Bangalore will go into Qualifier 2 with the winning momentum, having stunned the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the Eliminator. They found a new hero in Rajat Patidar, who scored an exceptional hundred. RCB had their stroke of luck when they sneaked into the playoffs ahead of Delhi. Their performance against Lucknow, though, deserved a victory. Will their graph keep rising?
