Hyderabad has strengthened its position in the points table by defeating RCB (Royal Challengers Bengaluru) in the 30th match of IPL 2024. Hyderabad is now at fourth position with 8 points. At the same time, another defeat has worsened the condition of RCB. Bengaluru team is now at the last position. RCB has played 7 matches so far in which it has faced defeat in 6. Now from here the path for Bengaluru to reach the playoffs is very difficult. Now only a miracle can take RCB to the playoffs. For this, RCB will now have to give miraculous performance in all its upcoming matches.

To keep the playoff hopes alive, RCB will have to win all their remaining matches with a big margin and will also have to pray for the defeat of the teams currently in the top 4. Only then can some equation be formed for RCB.

Bowlers will have to do charisma. RCB's main bowlers Mohammed Siraj, Reece Topley, Lockie Ferguson, Vishak Vijay Kumar, Yash Dayal, Alzarri Joseph need to give charismatic performances. They will have to bowl with good economy and prevent the opposing team's batsmen from scoring big.

The batsmen will have to show charisma, now if RCB has to counterattack from here, then their batsmen will have to give a charismatic performance as was done against Hyderabad. All the batsmen will have to bat hard by playing less balls so that a big score can be made and the Nat Run Rate which is currently -1.185 can be corrected.

Win all matches: In IPL, a team needs to win eight matches and get 16 points to qualify for the playoffs. RCB can make it to the playoffs if they win 7 of their remaining 7 matches and turn the net run rate into positive. A defeat from here can end the equation for RCB to reach the playoffs. If RCB wins 7 matches and gets 14 points and the performance of the team currently in the top 4 is bad and it also wins only 7 matches, then the equation can change for RCB. Well, for this now RCB will have to do a miracle.
