What are the Fantasy Suggested teams for RR vs RCB, IPL 2024, Eliminator?

Pre-Match Analysis:
At one point, Rajasthan Royals were handsomely placed at the top of the table and everyone thought they would be the first team to qualify for the Playoffs, however, late hiccups meant they were pushed down to the 3rd spot and will face a tough challenge in the Eliminator from RCB. Sanju Samson and his men lost four matches on the bounce before their washout game against KKR on Sunday. With no Jos Buttler in the team, they have to deal with the limited resources they have in the batting department. Their batting hasn’t fired at all lately, failing to cross the 150-run mark in the last two matches. However, Riyan Parag has caught the attention and still leads the most run-scorers chart for the team with 531 runs in 12 innings.

They have got match-winning bowlers Avesh Khan, Trent Boult, Sandeep Sharma, Yuzvendra Chahal, and Ravichandran Ashwin and are expected to do well collectively against RCB. Shimron Hetmyer who is nursing an injury is likely to be fit for the highly anticipated game.
At the end of the first half, Royal Challengers Bengaluru had won a solitary game from 7 matches and were languishing right down at the bottom of the table, and only had limited opportunities to finish in the top 4. Whatever happened after that is something unbelievable as they won six matches on the trot to cement their playoff berth from nowhere and set an example that anything is possible. In a must-win game against arch-rivals CSK on Saturday, they needed to win by 18 runs or more to advance and they achieved it with a 27-run win in the tense finish.
Yash Dayal’s impressive last over sealed the game where he conceded just 7 runs while defending 17. The batting unit is delivering at the right moments with Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis, Rajat Patidar, and Cameron Green scoring decisive runs. This is the 4th time in the last 5 years they have made it to the playoffs.
