New Delhi. Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium, making their path to the IPL 2023 playoffs more difficult. RCB was considered to be one of the teams to reach the playoffs from the beginning, but in the last few matches the team got derailed. RCB has faced defeat in three out of the last four matches. In match number 54 of IPL 2023 against Mumbai Indians, Royal Challengers Bangalore scored 199 runs. Chasing 200 runs, Ishaan Kishan played an inning of 42 runs in 21 balls. Suryakumar Yadav scored 83 runs in 35 balls and Nehal Wadhera scored 52 runs in 34 balls to help Mumbai Indians win by 6 wickets. With this resounding victory, Mumbai Indians have now reached number three in the points table.
How will Royal Challengers Bangalore reach the playoffs in IPL 2023?
Before the match against Mumbai Indians, Royal Challengers Bangalore had 10 points in their account. If RCB had won all their remaining matches, they would have got 18 points. However, now this is not possible. But Royal Challengers Bangalore can still score maximum 16 points. But for that RCB will have to win all their remaining three matches. In the points table of IPL 2023, at present Gujarat Titans remains on top with 16 points. Gujarat needs just one more win from the remaining three matches to secure its place in the playoffs.
3 teams can get 16 points
Chennai Super Kings have played 11 matches so far and have 13 points. If CSK wins all their remaining three matches, then they will have 17 points, which will be enough to take them to the top four. Rajasthan Royals, Kolkata Knight Riders and Punjab Kings also have 10 points but they have played 11 matches so they can reach maximum 16 points.
Mumbai Indians can also make it to the playoffs
Let us assume that if Mumbai Indians win all their remaining matches, then the team will have 18 points. In such a situation, only one place remains to reach the top 4. Because it is almost certain that Gujarat Titans and Chennai Super Kings will go to the playoffs.
4 teams fighting for the fourth spot
There is a competition between Royal Challengers Bangalore, Kolkata Knight Riders, Rajasthan Royals and Punjab Kings for the fourth place in the IPL 2023 playoffs. Whichever team wins the most of their remaining matches will qualify for the IPL 2023 playoffs. However, the almost clear equation of reaching the playoffs will come by the end of this week. Sunrisers Hyderabad and Delhi Capitals can also do some surprises in the meantime. Even though their chances of qualifying are slim, they can spoil the party for some teams.
