New Delhi: The Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) sealed their spot in Qualifier 2 of the TATA Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 campaign with a 14-run win over the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) on Wednesday at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.

Rajat Patidar’s incredible maiden IPL century and Josh Hazlewood’s crucial three-wicket haul powered RCB to a 14-run victory in a high-scoring thriller.

Chasing a challenging target of 208, LSG lost Quinton de Kock’s wicket in the very first over after the opener was caught inside the circle off Mohammed Siraj’s bowling. Manan Vohra upped the scoring rate with two sixes before the right-handed batter was dismissed by Josh Hazlewood.
