IPL 2023, RCB Playoffs Scenario: A total of 55 matches of IPL 2023 have been played and 15 matches are yet to be played in the league stage. Where Gujarat Titans and Chennai Super Kings are sitting very strongly on the top two positions. So the playoff hopes are almost over for Delhi Capitals. That is, there is a competition for the last two places of the playoffs between seven teams or it would not be wrong to say that nine teams are still intact in the playoff race. The way the teams of Mumbai Indians and KKR seem to be making a comeback, it is still not easy to guess the names of the last four teams.
At the moment, RCB’s hopes have suffered a major setback after facing defeat from Mumbai Indians in the last match. The team faced its sixth defeat in its 11th match. After this, his playoff hopes also seemed to be going down the drain. But it is not so, Virat Kohli’s team can still make it to the last 4. He has many equations, on which we will talk in detail in this news. Before that, let us tell that, RCB has to play its remaining three matches against Rajasthan Royals (May 14), Sunrisers Hyderabad (May 18) and Gujarat Titans (May 21). That means the journey is not easy but it is not impossible either.

How will RCB make it to the last-4?
RCB will first have to win all their three remaining matches. At present, the team is at the 7th position in the points table with 10 points after winning five out of 11 matches. Whereas Punjab, Kolkata, Rajasthan and Lucknow have equal marks. In such a situation, there can be a close fight between these four teams. For that, RCB will have to beat Rajasthan in their remaining one match. Due to which the hopes of Sanju Samson’s team can end and this team led by Faf du Plessis can be strong for the playoffs. Apart from this, by defeating Sunrisers too, RCB can strengthen their own way by ousting them. Then the real challenge will be Gujarat Titans, who will not make much difference if they lose but RCB can benefit from winning that match.

Points table after 55 matches of IPL 2023
That is, Royal Challengers Bangalore will now have to make their own way to the playoffs. If he continues to win, his hopes will be revived. He can strengthen himself by finishing the journey of Rajasthan and Hyderabad in the next two matches. So in the third match they will also have to beat Gujarat. On the other hand, Rajasthan will face Kolkata on Thursday. The team that loses here will automatically become weak in the playoff race. Then on Friday, Mumbai will look to defeat Gujarat and consolidate their position. According to the current condition of this time, it is too early to say anything about the last four teams. But in the last stage, the game of net runrate at 16 points can also play an important role in the competition.
