IPL 2024 end of the season games: KKR take on SRH in Qualifier 1, RCB-RR conflict in Eliminator
Could KKR at any point keep up with their season's flavor without Salt? How large a miss will Buttler be for RR? Is this at long last RCB's year?
Here come the IPL 2024 end of the season games. It took a spine chiller on Saturday to choose which of Regal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) or Chennai Super Lords (CSK) would finish the end of the season games line-up, and till the absolute last association game - a waste of time in Guwahati the previous evening - to realize who might play whom precisely, yet presently we know. Furthermore, it's something else altogether line-up from last season, with none of 2023's best four getting it done here.
Qualifier 1: KKR versus SRH, May 21, Ahmedabad
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) come into the principal qualifier as table-clinchers, whenever they've first completed the association stage at No. 1. They completed three focuses clear of any other individual on the table, regardless of triumphing ultimately their last two games cleaned out. Will they be invigorated, or corroded? In the event that SRH are any guide to go by, a break from the cricket is something to be thankful for: they came in following a 10-dawn - somewhat down to the timetable and mostly down to the climate - and aced a pursuit of 215 on Sunday against Punjab Rulers. This was just the second time in IPL 2024 that SRH dominated a match pursuing.

Eliminator: RR versus RCB, May 22, Ahmedabad
On April 22, RR were top of the table, taking off, having won seven of their initial eight games. At the opposite finish of the table, RCB were mulling, having lost as numerous as RR had won, six of those losses arriving in succession. Quick forward to May 20, and the circle back is staggering: RR have since won one of every six and lost four straight before Sunday's waste of time. RCB have won six in succession, and hence go into this knockout experience with all the force on their side.
Past gathering: They've played each other once this year, a persuading win for RR in Jaipur, where Virat Kohli hit a century just to be outshone by Jos Buttler.
Player accessibility: This time, RR will be without Buttler, who's important for the English T20 World Cup contingent that is left the competition. RCB will be without Will Jacks and Reece Topley for similar reasons.
Weather conditions conjecture: The gauge doesn't change much from Qualifier 1. Ahmedabad ought to stay hot and dry for the Eliminator.

Or on the other hand RR could bring home their most memorable championship since the debut season when Shane Warne's somewhat unfancied group saw off MS Dhoni's Super Rulers in the last.
For KKR it would be a first title starting around 2014, and their third in general. A remarkable homecoming for Gautam Gambhir, that would be - he had captained KKR to both their past titles, and played for them till 2017. This season, he moved from Lucknow Super Monsters back to KKR as group coach.
SRH's just title (not to mistake them for the other establishment from Hyderabad, Deccan Chargers, who won it in 2009) came in 2016 - might they at any point add to that?
Weather conditions conjecture: Not much change from Qualifier 2, but rather marginally more sultry even (min. 30 C) and, surprisingly, less possibility of downpour (4%).
