News Desk SportzwowExplore Royal Challengers Bangalore’s quest for IPL 2024 playoffs, their remaining match schedule, and the perennial question: Can RCB finally secure their maiden IPL title?
RCB Playoff Scenario:
With just 2 points from 8 matches and sitting at the bottom of the points table, RCB’s chances of making it to the playoffs seem bleak. However, mathematically, they are not entirely out of contention. Here’s a breakdown:
- Remaining Matches:
- RCB has three remaining matches against Sunrisers Hyderabad and Gujarat Titans (twice).
- They must win all these matches to have any chance of qualifying for the playoffs.
- Net Run Rate (NRR):
- RCB’s poor NRR (-1.046) is a significant hindrance. They not only need to win matches but also improve their NRR significantly.
- Winning convincingly against their opponents will be crucial for NRR improvement.
- Relying on Other Results:
- Even if RCB wins all their matches, they would need other results to go in their favor, particularly involving teams competing for the fourth playoff spot.
Remaining Match Schedule for RCB:
- Match 41 (N) – Thu, 25 Apr ’24
- Opponent: Sunrisers Hyderabad
- Venue: Hyderabad
- Time: 7:30 PM (2:00 pm GMT | 7:30 pm Local)
- Match 45 (D/N) – Sun, 28 Apr ’24

- Time: 3:30 PM (10:00 am GMT | 3:30 pm Local)
- Match 46 (N) – Mon, 29 Apr ’24

Is RCB Out of IPL 2024?
While RCB’s chances of making it to the playoffs are slim, they are not entirely out of the tournament yet. Winning all their remaining matches and hoping for favorable results from other games could see them sneak into the playoffs. However, the odds are against them.
Will RCB Ever Win IPL Title?
RCB has been a strong team in the IPL over the years but has often fallen short in the crucial stages of the tournament, including the final. Despite their talented squad and passionate fan base, they are yet to clinch the IPL title. However, in cricket, anything is possible, and RCB’s determination and talent make them contenders for future IPL titles. With the right combination of strategy, performance, and luck, RCB could certainly lift the trophy in the future.
