The ultra high-voltage IPL match between RCB vs. CSK will be played on May 19 at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore.
Let’s analyze the playoff qualification scenarios for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the upcoming IPL 2024 match.
Batting First (Full Match or Truncated Game):
- If RCB bats first and scores 200 runs, they must restrict CSK to 182 or less to qualify for the playoffs.
- Even in a truncated five-over contest, if RCB scores 75 runs, they must limit the opposition to 57 or less; otherwise, CSK will advance.
Batting Second (Full Match):
- If CSK posts 200 runs, RCB must chase down 201 runs with 11 or more balls to spare to qualify.
- If RCB hits a six from 200, they can complete the chase with up to 8 balls to spare.
Chasing Equation in a Truncated Game:
- For a target of 75 runs in a five-over clash, RCB must chase it down in 3.1 overs to improve their Net Run Rate (NRR) above CSK’s.
