But qualifying for the playoffs is not going to be easy for him. Now he will have to depend on luck as well as winning the match. In such a situation, let us know about those equations by which RCB team can secure its place in the playoffs.
RCB makes a strong comeback in the race for playoffs
Royal Challengers Bangalore have played 13 matches so far in IPL 2024. During this period, it has won 6 matches and faced defeat in 7 matches. It had suffered these 7 defeats in the first 8 matches only, due to which it had become difficult for Royal Challengers Bangalore to make the playoffs. After this, RCB has made a great comeback by winning 5 consecutive matches. He is currently at 5th position in the points table with 12 points and has 1 match left.
All equations of playoff for RCB
RCB has to play its last match in the league stage against the Chennai team. In such a situation, RCB will have to win this match at any cost, so that it gets 14 points. Let us tell you that CSK also has 14 points and only 1 match is left. On the other hand, the matches against Sunrisers Hyderabad and Lucknow Super Giants are also going to be very important for RCB. Both these teams have 2-2 matches left and both these teams can still reach 16 points. In such a situation, RCB will have to hope that one of these teams loses one of its matches, so that it remains only 14 points. Although Lucknow’s net run rate is very bad, if Lucknow loses 1 out of 2 matches then the path for RCB will become easier.
RCC fans keep an eye on these matches
Lucknow Super Giants have to play their remaining two matches against Delhi and Mumbai. In such a situation, RCB will have to hope that one of the teams from Delhi and Mumbai beats Lucknow. On the other hand, Gujarat Titans also have two matches left and can reach 14 points. However, the net run rate of Gujarat is also very bad. If they win both these matches by low ends then RCB will not suffer any loss. At the same time, if Gujarat loses one of the two matches, it will be out of the race anyway.
CSK will have to beat in net run rate
Even if the results of all the matches go in favor of RCB and it defeats CSK, it will still have to improve its net run rate to reach the playoffs. CSK team is currently ahead of RCB in net run rate. In such a situation, if RCB bats first in the match played against CSK, then it will have to win by at least 18 runs. If they bowl first, then whatever target they get, they will have to chase it in 18.1 overs.
