How Can RCB Reach Playoffs After Win Against Delhi Capitals: Royal Challengers Bengaluru, headed by Faf Du Plessis, defeated Delhi Capitals by 47 runs on Sunday to record their fifth straight win and maintain their hopes of making the IPL 2024 playoffs.
With the win, RCB currently has 12 points from 13 games; the outcome of both clubs’ league final match versus the Chennai Super Kings will be determined.
If RCB can defeat CSK, they will get 14 points, which would put them in a strong position to finish in the Top 4.

Rajasthan Royals were earlier defeated by CSK; hence, RCB would need to win by a large margin to have a higher Net Run Rate (NRR).
In order for RCB to advance, the Lucknow Super Giants, who are also competing for a postseason spot, must lose one of their last two games. DC and Gujarat Titans can both get 14 points, but it doesn’t appear likely that they will be able to advance to the next round given their underwhelming NRRs.

“Dropped catches hurt us. Could’ve restricted them to 150. When you lose four wickets in powerplay, you’re always chasing the game. 160-170 would’ve been a par score. Pitch was two-paced. Some were skidding, some were holding. When your main players are run out and you lose four in powerplay, you’re chasing the game. Anything can happen, but haven’t thought that far ahead,” he said after the match.
