IPL 2024 RCB: RCB’s hopes are rising once again. The team which was struggling at number ten for a long time, has now managed to reach number seven after consecutive wins. Meanwhile, the fans of the team are again wondering whether the team will be able to enter the playoffs this time or will they miss it. Although this is a very difficult task, but if we look at the equations, it can be done. Let us understand how.
RCB has played 11 matches so far
The Royal Challengers Bangalore team, captained by Faf Du Plessis, is currently at number seven in the points table. Out of the 11 matches played so far, the team has won four and lost 7. The team has eight points. The good thing is that Punjab Kings and Gujarat Titans also have only 8 points, but on the basis of better net run rate the team is ahead of them. But this alone will not suffice.
RCB now has three matches left
RCB now has only 3 matches left in the league stage. The first thing is that RCB will have to win every match from here. If even one match is lost then the game will be completely over. Along with this, it is also important that the RCB team wins at least two out of three matches by a big margin, so that its net run rate improves. The net run rate of the team is currently -0.049, which will have to be in plus. If RCB team wins the remaining three matches from here, then its total will be 14 points. But this is such a mark, where not only one team will reach, there will be some other teams too, who will reach 14 points. In such a situation, run rate will make a very important contribution.
Will have to depend on the results of other teams also
By taking only 14 points, the playoff claim will not be strong. Care will also have to be taken that more than three teams do not score more than 14 points. If this happens, then even after winning three matches and improving the run rate, there will be no effect and the RCB team will be eliminated. The equation is also that the teams of LSG and SRH, which are currently leading, should not be able to win more than one of their three matches.
RCB has matches left against these teams
The teams of Chennai Super Kings, LSG and Sunrisers Hyderabad have currently taken 12 points. If these teams win their two matches then they will have 16 points. This will blow the hopes of RCB and the team will not be able to do anything even after winning all the matches. RCB now has to play its matches against Punjab Kings, Delhi Capitals and Chennai Super Kings. Only after these matches will the picture become clear as to which team will go to the playoffs and which will remain out.
