- 21:55 (IST)RR vs RCB LIVE: Catch droppedOn the first delivery of the fifth over, Glenn Maxwell dropped an easy catch at deep square leg.

- 21:52 (IST)IPL 2024 Eliminator Live: RR on the moveRajasthan Royals are accelerating after a slow start. 13 runs came off Mohammed Siraj's second over. RR have scored 29 runs in the last two overs.

- 20:53 (IST)RR vs RCB LIVE: Huge controversyOn the third ball of 15th over, Avesh Khan got Dinesh Karthik out as LBW. Umpire raised his finger on the appeal but Karthik decided to review it. The UltraEdge showed a spike but it seemed that the ball cleanly hit Karthik's front pad and the spike was rather due to the bat brushing the pad. The TV umpire failed to obeserve it closely and passes the verdict in batter's favour. ajasthan Royals' Director of Cricket Kumar Sangakkara and other RR members were furious over the decision.
