Four!! All up to Rovman Powell now and he gets a four on teh first ball to bring the equation down to 9 from 11 balls now. 

 

Four!! Edge and the ball goes through the wide slip and it is only five more needed now. 

 

Dot ball. Now it is five needed off nine balls. Will Powell finish it? 

 

Two dot balls in a row now. What is happening here? Five needed off 8 now. And now it is five needed off 7 balls.

 

Six!! That wopulkd be it then as Powell hits a six straight down the ground and now, Royals win by four wickets and head into the Qualifier 2.

IPL 2024 RR vs RCB LIVE SCORE UPDATES, Eliminator: Game changing over from Siraj

 

Over Summary: 1 Wd Wd W 1 1 1 W; RR 160-6 after 18 overs

Rovman Powell (2), Shimron Hetmyer (26); Mohammed Siraj 4-0-33-2

 

It is down to the West Indians in Rovman Powell and Shimrin Hetmyer to win for Rajasthan. All they need is run a ball and one boundary here or there. 

 

Would you believe it? Now Hetmyer lost his mind and played a nothing shot, However, it was the catch by Faf du Plessis that has changed the game here. 

 

11:16 PM

IPL 2024 RR vs RCB LIVE SCORE UPDATES, Eliminator: Siraj removes Parag

Two wides in a row by Siraj. And he takes a wicket on the second ball as Riyan Parag shows that he still hasn't learned from his mistakes of the past. It was on a platter for him to finish it and he chose to play a big shit which was not at all needed and gift his wicket away. 

11:12 PM

IPL 2024 RR vs RCB LIVE SCORE UPDATES, Eliminator: 19 needed off 18 to win for Rajasthan

 

Over Summary: 1 1 4 4 1 0; RR 154-4 after 17 overs

Riyan Parag (36), Shimron Hetmyer (24); Yash Dayal 3-0-37-0

 

Single off the first ball here as Yash Dyala comes into the attack. Single off the second ball too as Dayal bowls a slower in-dipping low full toss. 

 

Hetyer is dealing in fours and the game is going away from the RCB here. 19 needed off 19 to win for Rajasthan here. And Parag is being silly once again, going for teh bigt shoit unnececesirly and playing a dot ball here.

 

11:06 PM

IPL 2024 RR vs RCB LIVE SCORE UPDATES, Eliminator: 30 needed off 24 to win for Rajasthan

 

Over Summary: 6 1 6 4 0 0; RR 143-4 after 16 overs

Riyan Parag (35), Shimron Hetmyer (14); Cameron Green 4-0-28-1

 

Six!! It is all about the boundaries now and Hetmyer has got one of them. It brings the target down to 41 off 29 now. 

 

Parag is on strike. This is the time for him to shine. Will he? Yes, he will as he hits one over the covers and for a six. The equation is now down to 34 of 27. 

 

Four!! This one is veen better as Parag picks the gap between short third-man and keeper and gets a four 30 needed off 26 now. 

 

Now, he doesn't need to do that. He shows the face of the bat deafening the ball while he could have had an easy single. Two dot balls, would have been two singles and the match would have been in Royals bucket almost., But Parag plays two dot balls and makes it ding-dongy. 

 

11:01 PM

IPL 2024 RR vs RCB LIVE SCORE UPDATES, Eliminator: 47 needed off 30 to win for Rajasthan

 

Over Summary: 1 1 2 1 4 Wd 1; RR 126-4 after 15 overs

Riyan Parag (25), Shimron Hetmyer (7); Mohammed Siraj 3-0-27-0

 

With 58 needed off 36, it is going to be all about these two men- Hetmyer and Parag and how they approach the RCB pacers. 

 

What is Riyan Parag up to here? He does not feel confident enough of acing the balls? If not, what is he doing ball-watching when there are certain two available? Unbelievably underconfident Royals while batting tonight. 

 

Four!! Finally, something good for Rajasthan as they get a four here.  

 

10:52 PM

IPL 2024 RR vs RCB LIVE SCORE UPDATES, Eliminator: Time-Out taken

 

Over Summary: W1 0 1 0 1 1; RR 115-4 after 14 overs

Riyan Parag (21), Shimron Hetmyer (1); Cameron Green 3-0-11-1

 

Shimron Hetmeyer is the impact player and he has replaced Yuzvendra Chahal. Gets off the mark as only four runs come from it and the wicket of Jurel. Time for a time-out. 

 

10:47 PM

IPL 2024 RR vs RCB LIVE SCORE UPDATES, Eliminator: Kohli runs-out Jurel

This is very poor running from both the batters, Had they been confident enough from the start, that would have been an easy single. But what they did was hesitate and then DhruvJurel never anticipated the throw to be si accurate and as a result was casual while running and diving. There was no urgency from him and as a result, he had to walk back. 

10:45 PM

IPL 2024 RR vs RCB LIVE SCORE UPDATES, Eliminator: Game in balance

 

Over Summary: 3 0 1 6 0 1; RR 111-3 after 13 overs

Riyan Parag (18), Dhruv Jurel (8); Cameron Green 2-0-7-1

 

Riyan Parag took three runs off the first ball and then hit a six with a changed bat and the game is in balance all of a sudden. 11 runs come off the over. 

 

10:38 PM

IPL 2024 RR vs RCB LIVE SCORE UPDATES, Eliminator: Tight over from Green

 

Over Summary: 0 1 0 0 1 0; RR 100-3 after 12  overs

Riyan Parag (8), Dhruv Jurel (7); Cameron Green 2-0-7-1

 

Dinesh Karthik did not look interested in the review, but pressured by Cameron Green he went for it and as a result, RCB will lose their review. Parag has now played two dot balls here as the pressure builds. He takes a single and only two runs come off it. 

 

10:31 PM

IPL 2024 RR vs RCB LIVE SCORE UPDATES, Eliminator: 13 runs and a wicket from the over

 

Over Summary: WWd 4 1 4 0 Wd 1 1; RR 98-3 after 11  overs

Riyan Parag (7), Dhruv Jurel (6); Karn Sharma 2-0-19-1

 

Dhruv Jurel is showing Sanju how a leg spinner should be played. He is playing with the turn and targeting the shorter boundary on the on side, getting back-to-back fours. Sanju with so much experience went to play against the turn and towards the bigger boundary. Not a great ploy at all. 

 

13 runs and a wicket from the over. 

 

10:28 PM

IPL 2024 RR vs RCB LIVE SCORE UPDATES, Eliminator: Sanju Samson stumped

Wicket!! This is the Sanju Samson people are aware of. The Samson that gifts away his wicket irresponsibly. With 10 overs to go and less than 90 runs to get, there was no need at all to step out and play the big shit. But he did and got stumped 

10:26 PM

IPL 2024 RR vs RCB LIVE SCORE UPDATES, Eliminator: Two good overs in a row for Bengaluru

Riyan Parag has come out to bat and he gets off the mark easily.
