Royal Challengers Bengaluru notched up their fourth win of IPL 2024, further boosting their playoff chances. Faf du Plessis and his side now have eight points from 11 matches and sit seventh on the IPL 2024 points table. Fans might wonder how RCB can qualify for the playoffs from here on, and we will talk about that here. RCB have three more matches remaining–against Punjab Kings, Delhi Capitals and Chennai Super Kings and wins in these games will see their point tally swell up to 14, which is the maximum they can get this season.

RCB’s Net Run Rate (NRR) has improved after their win over Gujarat Titans and they will look to push it out of the negative zone in the coming games.
