Weather Report:
It’s a hot day at the Narendra Modi Stadium today, with temperatures soaring to a sweltering 40°C-42°C under mostly sunny skies. The good news? No rain is expected, ensuring uninterrupted play. Additionally, there’s no sign of dew, which is great news for the bowlers but not so favorable for the team that will be chasing.
Pitch Report:
The pitch for the eliminator is the same one used in Match 59 between the Gujarat Titans and Chennai Super Kings. In that match, Gujarat posted a commanding total of 231, which Chennai couldn’t chase down, although fans were treated to a classic Dhoni helicopter shot that brought some solace to the Chennai supporters. So, we can anticipate a high-scoring game, but it’s worth noting that this match was played nearly two weeks ago, which might affect the pitch conditions.
Prediction:
We’re backing RCB for this game. The last time the Rajasthan Royals tasted victory was on April 27th, nearly a month ago, while RCB have been on a roll, winning six games in a row. As the in-form team, RCB seem poised to prevail over RR, setting up a mouth-watering clash against SRH at Chepauk on May 24th. It’s also worth noting that RR haven’t played a single game in Ahmedabad this season, whereas RCB have the advantage of experience on this pitch, having comfortably chased down a total of 200 against GT on this very strip.
Both these teams are brimming with talent and possess the skills required to make it through to Qualifier 2. However, in this intense battle, only one team can march on, while the other will have to pack their bags and head home.
Tune into Jio Cinema at 7:30 PM IST to watch the Clash of Royals and see who will face SRH on May 24th.
Until Next Time!
Thank You.
