As two matches were canceled, all hopes of playoff were lost, now they are 8th in the points table with 12 points. Under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya, they won the IPL in 2022 and became the IPL finalist in 2023. But they did not show well this year. Hardik Pandya has been missed by the team. He will finish well in the middle order and take wickets with the ball, and Shami is sorely missed due to injury. Sunrisers Hyderabad needed 1 point in today’s match to confirm the playoff, but if they had won this match, they could have tried to secure the number 2 position. But they got this 1 point and finished at number 3 with 15 points.
As the match was canceled due to rain, Today it became very difficult for RCB to go to the playoffs. Approx 1st innings score RCB Qualification Scenario in the match if interrupted by rain, for example, in a 15 over match, RCB must score 190 runs and restrict CSK to 172 runs or if 190 runs against them, RCB must score in 13.1 overs. Again, If RCB scores 140 in a 10 over match, the opponent must be restricted to 122, or if the run is against them then the run must be taken in 8.1 overs. If there is a 5 over match then if RCB scores 90 runs they have to restrict the opposition to 72 runs, and if they have to score that run they have to take 3.1 overs.
