IPL 2025
The IPL 2025 has returned back on track again, but the match played between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Kolkata Knight Riders on May 17 was washed away in rain. In this way, both teams had to be satisfied with each point. The rains started around 6 pm, which could not even toss and finally had to cancel the match. With this, RCB took another strong step towards the playoff while the KKR was out of the playoff race.
RCB now has 17 points in 12 matches and winning one of the remaining two matches will be enough for him to secure a place in the playoffs. He is currently at the top of the points table ahead of Gujarat Titans (16 points). Now the matter of 2 matches to be held on May 18, which can clean the picture of the playoffs to a great extent.
Actually, every match for the teams involved in the playoff race is now like the final. After two very important matches today, the fate of many teams can be decided. Let’s know the complete equation of qualification according to today’s matches …
Today the first match will be played between Rajasthan Royals and Punjab Kings. At the same time, in the second match, Gujarat Titans will compete with Delhi Capitals. If the Rajasthan team defeats Punjab Kings, then the RCB will qualify for the playoffs. In this situation, Punjab’s expectations will end and RCB will reach the playoffs directly.
3 teams may open luck
At the same time, if Gujarat defeated Delhi Capitals, both RCB and GT will qualify for the playoffs. In this scene, the path of DC will be difficult and both teams will reach the next round.
