Royal Challengers Bangalore is on track to play its fourth IPL final, with 14 points from 10 matches and four games left. The team’s playoff chances depend on its performance in the remaining matches.
RCB’s Playoff Chances
RCB has won seven out of 10 matches so far. To secure a playoff spot, the team needs to win just one of its remaining four matches, as 16 points typically guarantee a spot in the next stage.
- If RCB loses all four remaining matches, it will still have 14 points.
- The team’s net run rate is currently +0.521.
- Losing the next four matches could drop the net run rate to negative.
To top the table, RCB must win most of its remaining matches.
Aiming for the Title
RCB last played in the IPL final in 2016, when it lost to Sunrisers Hyderabad. The team made a strong comeback in IPL 2024’s second phase and secured a playoff spot. With RCB looking to win its first IPL title, the stakes are high. The team’s performance in the remaining matches will be critical in determining its fate in the tournament.
