IPL 2024: RCB vs CSK playoff scenarios decoded

RCB’s playoff hopes depend on the crucial CSK clash. The RCB vs CSK clash in Bengaluru promises high drama as both sides eye crucial IPL playoff points.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru have turned around their campaign winning five straight matches to reach 12 points from 13 games. However, they need another victory and a big margin in their final league match against CSK.

Virat Kohli‘s team is currently in contention in fifth place, but they cannot afford anything less than a win against the defending champions.

Meanwhile, Chennai Super Kings’ route to the next round is more secure. Dhoni’s team would be through even with a defeat, depending on its net run rate.

However, a victory at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium would see CSK book their playoff spot with a game in hand. They could rise to second place if current occupiers Rajasthan Royals end their season on a losing note.

With so much riding on the result, a sellout crowd can be expected for Wednesday’s high-octane South Indian rivalry clash.

While RCB battles for survival, CSK will aim to strengthen its position and retain hopes of a hometown final in Chennai this year.
