RCB vs CSK: A knockout before the playoffs 

How can RCB beat CSK in NRR?

CSK and RCB, two of the most popular cricket franchises in the world, have again managed to keep fans excited with their performances in the ongoing IPL.  

The 5-time champions CSK are ahead on the points table after winning 7 out of 13 games to sit in third spot.  

Whereas RCB, who was at last position after the halfway stage of IPL 2024, bounced back in style, and won their next 5 games to build up hopes for playoffs qualification.

No one even wondered that RCB, who won just one game during their first eight outings, can remain in playoffs contention till the final league stage game.  

But they were able to accomplish that, and now RCB with some calculations can advance to the playoffs. There is a probability that RCB vs CSK on May 18 could turn into a knockout. While both can also reach with some scenarios.
