They can reach a maximum of eight points if they win their last two games against UP Warriorz and Mumbai Indians (MI).
Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) started WPL 2025 with two big wins, including a record chase against Gujarat Giants. However, four consecutive losses at home have put their playoff chances in danger.
Right now, RCB is fourth in the points table with four points from six matches. They can reach a maximum of eight points if they win their last two games against UP Warriorz and Mumbai Indians (MI). Gujarat Giants and MI already have eight points, while Delhi Capitals (DC) have secured a playoff spot with ten.
With DC already in the playoffs and UP Warriorz out of the race, RCB must win both of their remaining matches to stay in contention. However, just winning may not be enough as net run rate (NRR) will be a big factor.
RCB will also hope that Gujarat Giants defeat MI to make their path slightly easier. They trail behind MI in NRR, so they need a big victory in their last match against MI to have any chance of finishing in the top three. Surpassing Gujarat Giants in NRR will be even more difficult since they must both win the matches by large margins.
