The spectacular win against Delhi Capitals has still kept RCB's hopes alive. Let us tell you what RCB needs to do to reach the playoffs.

In the 62nd match of IPL 2024, Royal Challengers Bengaluru kept their hopes of reaching the playoffs alive by defeating Delhi Capitals by 47 runs. Now one last match of RCB is left against Chennai and it is possible that this match may become a knockout match for both the teams. Let us tell you how RCB team can qualify for the playoffs?

After a spectacular win against Delhi at home, RCB has reached fifth place in the current points table and thanks to a net run rate of 0.387, they still have a good chance of making the top four. Faf du Plessis's team will be seen facing CSK in its last match and overall it can be a virtual knockout but for this it will be necessary that the results of the matches of Sunrisers Hyderabad and Lucknow Supergiants also remain favorable for RCB.

If these results go in favor of RCB, then to overtake CSK on net run-rate, RCB will have to beat them by 18 runs or more in the last match (assuming they have scored 200 runs batting first). . If they are given a target of 201, they will have to reach this target in 18.1 overs or before. At the same time, if SRH wins at least one match and LSG wins both its remaining matches, then the win against CSK will mean nothing and RCB will be eliminated.

Obviously, RCB fans will be keeping an eye on the matches of other teams before their last match. If the match between RCB and Chennai turns out to be a virtual knockout, then believe me, the rhythm with which the RCB team is playing can overwhelm CSK and in such a situation, this match will be no less than a treat for the fans.
