Josh Hazlewood turned the match on its head with two wickets in the 19th over just as Lucknow Super Giants looked poise to pull off a thrilling run-chase.

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) beat Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) by 14 runs in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 Eliminator on Wednesday to book a meeting with Rajasthan Royals in Qualifier 2 on Friday in Ahmedabad.

 

Royal Challengers had earlier qualified for the IPL 2022 playoffs courtesy of Mumbai Indians' five-wicket win over Delhi Capitals on Saturday. Royal Challengers were on 16 points and Capitals on 14 ahead of the game, and Capitals would have made it to the last-four stage had they won the match owing to a higher net run rate than that of RCB.

 

RCB had appointed Faf du Plessis, one of its big-ticket signings at the mega auction, as captain for IPL 2022.

Yet to win an IPL crown, the Royal Challengers will look to build on their three back-to-back playoffs appearances and go all the way this year.
