RCB's playoff chance is how Royal Challengers Bangalore can still reach the top and qualify for IPL 2024, know the equation

RCB's chances to qualify for playoffs: Royal Challengers Bangalore registered their second win in IPL 2024 against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Bengaluru defeated Hyderabad by 35 runs on their home ground. Hyderabad is famous for setting big targets this season, but the team got frustrated while chasing the target against Bengaluru. Now even after this second win, RCB did not get any advantage in the points table. The team is still at 10th position. In such a situation, let us know whether the team can still qualify or not.

It is no longer easy for RCB to qualify by reaching the top-4. Bengaluru has played 9 matches in the season, in which they have got only 2 wins. In such a situation, now the team has to play 5 more matches. If Bengaluru wins its next five matches, the team will have a total of 14 points. However, it is very difficult to go to the playoffs with 14 points. The team needs at least 16 points. Last season also RCB had 14 points, but they had to be eliminated.

In this way RCB can qualify with 14 points

If RCB achieves 14 points by winning all the remaining matches, then the team will have to hope that the teams of Sunrisers Hyderabad, Lucknow Super Giants, Chennai Super Kings, Delhi Capitals and Gujarat Titans finish the tournament with 14 points each. If all these teams also have 14 points, then RCB can reach the top-4 by achieving a good run rate.

However, it is also worth noting that if RCB loses even one of their remaining matches, then it will be impossible for them to reach the playoffs. On the other hand, if any of the teams of Hyderabad, Lucknow, Chennai, Delhi and Gujarat gets 16 points, then RCB will be directly out of the playoff race. Now it will be interesting to see whether RCB can qualify this season or not.
