The unbeaten Rajasthan Royals (RR) will host Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in match number 72 of IPL 2024 at Narendra Modi Stadium on 22nd May. RR are on a winning role with three consecutive wins from three matches and are currently in the second position at the points table. On the other hand, RCB have been seen struggling in the tournament winning just one game out of four matches played so far and currently stand in the eighth spot in the points table.
Now, RCB will be looking to get back on their winning track, while RR will aim for the top spot in the points table with their fourth consecutive win of the season. When last time both teams met at SMS Stadium, RCB bowlers completely destroyed the RR batting line-up, bowling them out for just 59 runs to win the match by 112 runs. However, this time the form is within RR, but RCB will be looking to repeat what they did last year against them.

For RR to get their fourth win of the season, they will be hoping for their best players to deliver a match-winning performance in a big clash against RCB. One of the main players to look out for RR is Trent Boult. The left-arm fast bowler from New Zealand has been a pivotal player for RR from the last couple of years and has a great record against big RCB batters. Boult was seen on his beast mode in the last match against Mumbai Indians at Wankhede Stadium where he picked up 3 wickets conceding 22 runs in his spell of four overs, where he dismissed Rohit Sharma, Naman Dhir and Dewald Brevis for golden duck.
Also in his last outing against RCB in IPL 2023, Boult dismissed Virat Kohli for a first-ball at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on 23rd April. Now, he will be one of the biggest threats for RCB in the upcoming IPL 2024 clash in Ahmedabad.
