A better performance from the team, but not good enough to take us across the line. What could we have done better, the coaches explain to us, and the players in the dressing room chat.#PlayBold #ನಮ್ಮRCB #SheIsBold #WPL2023 #DCvRCB pic.twitter.com/63e5jydC6s

WPL 2023 Playoff Race: What RCB needs to do to qualify for playoffs
- RCB have three games left against Gujarat Giants, Mumbai Indians, and UP Warriorz. First off, they need to win all these three games with big margins. Since RCB’s net run rate is -2.109, the margin of wins cannot be too less.
- Second RCB would be hoping MI and DC win all their remaining games, as that would give them a chance to finish third as well.
- The Mandhana-led side would also be hoping UP Warriorz lose all their four matches, in order to make the playoffs.
- RCB would also be hoping Gujarat Giants do not need to win more than one game out of the four matches remaining.
- If RCB are tied in points with any other teams, the next run rate will come into question.
RCB cannot enter the top two as MI and DC have already won four games. RCB can only finish either third or fourth in the points table.
