RCB vs DC in IPL 2021: How can Virat Kohli’s RCB still finish in top 2? Check equation here – After facing a heartbreaking defeat against Sunrisers Hyderabad, Royal Challengers Bangalore find themselves in a tough situation as they have a very tough chance of finishing in top 2 at the end of the league stage. Delhi Capitals have 20 points and will finish at the top of the points table while Chennai Super Kings have 18 points and are currently holding the 2nd spot. RCB is at number three followed by Kolkata Knight Riders at number 4. With all the cricketing logic, KKR will qualify for the playoffs. Mumbai Indians will have to beat Sunrisers by 171 runs to qualify for the playoffs which is very unlikely to happen. So now there is another question to deal with, How can RCB still finish in top 2?
RCB’s equation to finish in top 2
In their last league stage match, RCB will have to beat DC by 167 runs or more in order to take the 2nd spot in the points table. If they are chasing the target then they will not be able to overtake CSK’s NRR.
