Royal Challengers Bangalore
The 18th season of the Indian Premier League, which was suspended for a week, was suspended in view of the increasing tension on the border between India and Pakistan, the remaining matches started from May 17. The 59th match of the season was to be played between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Kolkata Knight Riders at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore, which was canceled due to rain. While the match was canceled, the defending champion KKR was out of the race to reach the playoffs, while the RCB could not confirm its place yet, in which it still needs a point. In such a situation, RCB can still miss on reaching the playoffs, now such equations are being seen.
RCB needs at least one win in the next 2 matches
The Royal Challengers Bangalore team has played 12 matches so far in the IPL 2025 season, out of which they have managed to win 8 matches and have lost in three. RCB currently has a total of 17 points. In the IPL, if there is so many points, any team confirms its place for the playoffs, but in this season, the circumstances are getting slightly different, so that RCB will now have to win at least one more winning in the remaining 2 matches, after which they will confirm their place for the playoffs, but if they have to face defeat in both these matches, then they may be a little difficult for the playoffs. On the other hand, if one of these two matches is canceled, then in that case, RCB will score a point and confirm its place for the playoffs.
If such equations are formed then RCB can be out of top-4
If the RCB faces defeat in the remaining league stage matches of this season, then it will be a bit difficult for it to make a place in the playoffs, in which some equations are being made that can lead to the top-4. Let’s take a look at the equation that can lead to the RCB playoff race.
- RCB faces defeat in the remaining two of its league stage matches.
- The Punjab Kings team loses against Mumbai and Delhi but wins the match against Rajasthan Royals.
- The Gujarat Titans team loses their match to Delhi Capitals and manages to win the remaining 2 matches against Lucknow and CSK.
- The team of Delhi Capitals loses to Mumbai Indians but win the match between Gujarat Titans and Punjab Kings.
- The team of Mumbai Indians win against both Delhi Capitals and Punjab Kings.
In view of all these equations, if this happens, then the team of Gujarat Titans and Mumbai Indians will finish the top-2 in that situation, while Punjab Kings, RCB and Delhi Capitals will have a total of 17-17 points. In such a situation, the net runrate of the three teams will be very important in which RCB is in this case a bit good but if the difference is not much, then if RCB loses both its matches, then their net runret will also be spoiled in it, which can make it difficult for them to reach the playoffs.
