A clinical seven-wicket win for Rajasthan Royals. For as much as Jos Buttler's innings took the game away from their grasp, their bowlers - especially the pacers - also played a big part in restricting RCB to an under-par score of 157. Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sanju Samson also made handy contributions with the bat. Yet another fine campaign for RCB ends without a trophy in hand, while RR - with a supreme all-round performance - have given the tournament's best team, Gujarat Titans, a sound warning ahead of the final.

0 0

WICKET: Faf du Plessis who was being tied down by RR's spin twins has finally been dismissed. Obed McCoy with the wicket. The RCB skipper looks to go big but ends up mistiming the shot and gets caught by R Ashwin. The half-century stand is broken.

WICKET: Virat Kohli's poor form in the tournament continues. Prasidh Krishna with the strike. Kohli is caught behind for 7.

Rajasthan Royals have won the toss and elected to field. Both teams are playing unchanged Xis.

Hello and welcome to the Qualifier 2 match of IPL 2022 set to be played between Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bangalore. Only win away from a place in the final, where the winners of the contest will face Gujarat Titans, there is all to play for tonight. Rajasthan Royals did put in a good performance in Qualifier 1, but were eventually outclassed by David Miller's late assault. RCB, on the other hand, were in danger despite some brilliant individual performances in the Eliminator against Lucknow Super Giants. There isn't a lot to separate the forms of the two teams. Who do you think will emerge victorious tonight?
