After 37 matches, the Royal Challengers Bangalore are at the bottom of the IPL 2024 points table with two points from eight games. For perspective, table toppers Rajasthan Royals have a match in hand, but are 10 points ahead of RCB.

Yet, all is not over for RCB, who can still make it to the top four – that too with a gap of at least four points with the teams outside the top four. Here is how.

As is evident, RCB can not only qualify for the IPL 2024 playoffs but do that with a four-point buffer. They can even afford to lose a game, particularly the one against SRH.

Of course, this is one combination, and RCB can make it even if some matches play out differently. For example, RCB will qualify even if CSK, placed below LSG, win the clash between the sides on April 23.
