RCB on the brink of IPL 2025 playoffs qualification

The Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) can officially qualify for the IPL 2025 playoffs with a win tonight against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). They currently have 16 points and sit in 2nd place in the points table.

A win would take their tally to 18 points, which would be enough for a top 4 finish. However, they will be aiming for a top 2 finish. In case the match gets abandoned, RCB and KKR will both get 1 point each. That won’t officially cement their play in the top 4 for RCB. On the other hand, that will end KKR’s hopes of an IPL 2025 playoffs berth and end the season for the defending champions.
