RCB Playoff Chances 2024: Faf du Plessis-led Royal Challengers Bengaluru moves to the fifth spot in the IPL 2024 points table with a victory against Delhi Capitals on Sunday.

RCB will play their final league game of the IPL 2024 on May 18 against Chennai Super Kings at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium – RCB’s home venue.

With five consecutive victories in their last stage of the season, RCB made a bounce-back and stayed alive in the IPL 2024 playoffs race. With just one game left for the Faf du Plessis and Co, their chances of entering the knockouts get under the radar.

If RCB loses the game on May 18, then CSK will advance to the qualifier in ease while RCB will be eliminated from the qualifier race. Moreover, a win over CSK alone is not enough for RCB, they still need to rely on the other teams’ results.

How Royal Challengers Bengaluru can still make it to the playoffs?

• It’s a must-win match for RCB and even if they win, they will have to depend on the other results to go their way.
• They would need SRH to lose both and LSG to lose at least one of their two games.
• In any scenario, they would look to beat CSK (0.528) by a decent margin, which takes their net run rate higher than CSK’s.
• If the other results go their way, RCB stands a good chance of qualifying for the Playoffs with a better Net Run Rate than CSK.
