How Can RCB Qualify For IPL Playoffs After Win Over GT?
The win over GT was RCB’s fourth win in 11 games and it has kept them alive in the playoffs race. Even though RCB won’t be able to qualify on their own, they will have a good chance if they can register a big win in all their remaining three games. A team needs eight wins to qualify directly, however, RCB can reach only 14 points if they win all their games. It is a very packed points table and a situation is building where several teams could end up with 14 points for the fourth slot in the points table. In that case, if RCB can have a better run rate than all other teams with 14 points, they can go through the top 4 in the points table. RCB play PBKS, DC and CSK in their final three games.
