It was a somewhat less celebrated player who the Challengers have to thank for setting up this tie. The unsung Rajat Patidar's unbeaten 112 helped his team's eliminator win over Lucknow on Wednesday to keep alive Bangalore's hopes of a long-awaited first IPL title.
As for Rajasthan, despite a sterling effort, they couldn't match the might of Gujarat Titans' David Miller. The batsman smashed Prasidh Krishna for three consecutive sixes in the final over of the match to condemn Rajasthan to defeat in midweek. Today's clash offers RCB a second chance to reach this weekend's IPL final.
It's knockout cricket, with the losing team going home and the winner set for another all-or-nothing showdown for a place in the final.

How to watch IPL cricket from outside your country
Below we've got you covered with your official Rajasthan Royals v Royal Challengers Bangalore broadcasting options for major cricket loving countries (and the US!), but if you're outside your country of residence - whether that's India, the UK or anywhere else - and try to stream the cricket via your local broadcaster, you'll soon discover that you can't, as it's location restricted. But there is a way to tune in regardless.
By downloading and installing a VPN, you can effectively trick your computer into thinking that it's back at home. That way you can enjoy your home coverage without having to find an illegal stream - assuming you comply with the broadcaster's fine print, of course - specifically its terms and conditions.

Can I watch an IPL live stream in Pakistan?
Relations between Pakistan and India continue to be fractious to say the least, and one of the results is that the IPL is once again not being broadcast in Pakistan. Very disappointing news for the cricket-mad nation.
Your best bet, therefore, may be to use one of the best streaming VPNs to tap into coverage from a different country, as described above.
The software is generally ideal for this as it allows you to change your IP address and appear to be in a completely different location - and all through a safe, encrypted connection. But do bear in mind that most paid streaming services do require a credit card based in the same country as the service.
