It has been a hard toil for the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) as well as for the millions of RCB fans, fighting hard in the Indian Premier League (IPL) for the last 15 years and not even winning a single trophy. Interestingly, RCB have managed to qualify for the IPL playoffs during the last three consecutive seasons. However, the Royal Challengers Bangalore have once again witnessed quite mixed fortunes in the ongoing IPL 2023 season as they are currently placed at the 6th spot on the points table with 5 wins and 5 losses in their kitty.

IPL 2023 Playoffs chances

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB)

Royal Challengers Bangalore and Rajasthan Royals are tied with 10 points each in the Indian Premier League standings, but RCB has the advantage of having four games in hand. However, RCB’s hopes of making it to the playoffs hinge on their ability to defeat their direct rivals in the first three of these remaining four matches. Even if they drop points along the way, RCB can still make it to the playoffs, but it would depend on fractional net run rate (NRR) differences, which could see one team qualifying over the other. RCB faces a tough challenge as they cannot afford more than one defeat in their remaining matches. Compounding this is the fact that they must play three consecutive away games before their league stage clash in Bengaluru. The pressure is on RCB to perform at their best to secure a playoff spot and stay in the race for the IPL title.

The Royal Challengers Bangalore just have a single home game left in the ongoing IPL 2023 season against Gujarat Titans on 21 May, 2023. RCB will be facing Mumbai Indians, Rajasthan Royals and Sunrisers Hyderabad on 9, 14 and 18 May, 2023 respectively in their three away games.
