Who Will Qualify For IPL 2024 Playoffs If RCB vs CSK Game Gets Washed Out?

Royal Challengers Bengaluru staged an impressive recovery in IPL 2024, clinching five consecutive victories, a first in IPL history, after a shaky start to the season.

RCB currently sits sixth in the IPL 2024 points table with 12 points, while Chennai Super Kings hold third place with 14 points.

If RCB defeats CSK, both teams will be tied at 14 points. However, RCB must win by a margin of 18 runs or chase within 18.1 overs to surpass CSK's Net Run Rate and qualify for the playoffs.

With a forecast of over 90% chance of rain in Chennai on match day, fans brace for the possibility of a washed-out game between RCB and CSK.

Should rain disrupt the RCB vs CSK match, RCB will be eliminated from the playoffs race, securing CSK's qualification with 15 points.

The battle for the fourth playoff spot intensifies between LSG and SRH, with the latter holding a favorable position due to their superior run rate.

Virat Kohli emerges as IPL 2024's leading run-scorer, amassing 661 runs with a century and five half-centuries, boosting RCB's resurgence.

CSK showcased dominance in their previous clash with RCB, securing victory by 6 wickets, highlighting their potential in the upcoming fixture.

Heavy rainfall is predicted in Bengaluru during the match, posing a threat to RCB's chances of qualification.

 

With only two confirmed playoff spots, the outcome of the RCB vs CSK match holds significant implications for both teams' playoff aspirations, adding to the intensity of the encounter.
