IPL 2024 Playoffs Qualification Scenario: This season of IPL is changing every moment. Whereas RCB i.e. Royal Challengers Bangalore team was on the verge of being eliminated from this tournament, but now after consecutive wins, the chances of the team going to the playoffs have once again become stronger. However, it is also true that it is not so easy for him to reach the top 4. Because the team will not only have to win its matches, it will also have to hope that the results of other teams will also come accordingly. This does not seem possible, but it is not impossible either. Let us understand how the Royal Challengers Bangalore team will reach the playoffs.
RCB beats Punjab Kings by 60 runs, team’s net run rate improves
RCB defeated Punjab Kings by 60 runs in the match played in Dharamshala on Wednesday. He got many benefits from this. Firstly, the team has got two points and since the win was big, its net run rate has also increased significantly. This is why the team can still go to the top 4. After this victory, once again the hopes of RCB fans have skyrocketed. The first thing RCB will have to do to reach the top 4 is that they will have to win both their remaining matches at any cost. The interesting thing is that even after the last win, there has been no change in RCB’s position. The team was earlier also at number 7 and is still there. But their net rate was higher than that of LSG and Delhi Capitals who were ahead of them. LSG and DC may have 12 points each, but their net run rate is in minus and RCB’s has now gone into plus.
Had to face defeat in 6 consecutive matches
RCB had to face defeat in its 6 consecutive matches. If the team had won even one of those matches, its fate would have been in its hands, but that is the thrill of the IPL. Now along with its victory, it will also have to depend on the results of other teams. While RCB now has ten points, Delhi Capitals, Chennai Super Kings and LSG have 12 points. That means RCB is only two points behind these teams. If RCB wins both its remaining matches, it will have a total of 14 points, which is enough to qualify. But the problem is that other teams will also play their matches and if they win then RCB’s problems will increase.
How will RCB enter the top 4?
RCB has to play the remaining two matches at home, the team will definitely benefit from it. RCB will face Delhi Capitals on May 12, while it will face Chennai Super Kings on May 18. CSK team will play three more matches. If Chennai team loses its remaining three matches on the line, it will be easy for RCB. CSK currently has 12 points, which means if the team continues to lose, it will be left with only 12 points, while RCB will have 14 points. Whereas Delhi team will have to lose to RCB and then to LSG also. But he should win from Chennai. This means that Chennai will stop at 12 points. RCB will have 14 points, while Delhi can only beat Chennai and then Bengaluru after losing to LSG. In such a situation, Delhi team will also stop at 14 points.
These are also equations
According to this equation, Rajasthan Royals and KKR will be the top 2 teams, while the third team will be RCB and LSG team can finish at fourth position. Apart from this there is another possibility. What will happen if SRH and CSK lose all their matches from here? SRH team will stop at 14 points and CSK team will stop at 12 points. If both these teams reach 16 points then there may be trouble for RCB. But if only one team reaches 16 points then the team’s chances will be there. In such a situation, along with RCB, one other team will have equal 14 points. If the net run rate of RCB is high then the team will be successful in entering the top 4. However, these equations are quite complicated. But the possibilities are definitely there.
