Royal Challengers Bangalore: Despite a couple of defeats on the trot, RCB are still well placed to reach the playoffs for the first time since 2016. If they win one of their remaining matches, there is a chance of a five-way tie at 16 points and a NRR battle in that case is likely to be a close one. If RCB win both their matches, a top two finish is assured. However, whisper it, defeats in the last two matches could be bad news for Virat Kohli and Co. There is still a scenario where FIVE teams can be tied on 14 points, and it could be a nervy wait for RCB on the final day when SRH (with a good NRR) take on MI.
