Chennai Super Kings were not in great form in the last few games. However, against Delhi Capitals, they turned up in their best avatar to gain a big and handsome victory. With this, they have now got a spot in the Top 2 of the points table. However, this win will complicate for some of the other teams, including Royal Challengers Bangalore. On that note, here, we take a look at the qualification scenario for RCB after CSK beat Delhi Capitals.
Qualification scenario for RCB after CSK beat Delhi Capitals
Actually, irrespective of the result of the CSK vs DC match, RCB had to win their last game against Gujarat Titans. However, with CSK booking a spot in the Top 2 unless LSG gets a huge win, RCB’s win over GT will only give them a spot in the playoffs and there will not be an extra incentive.
RCB’s final game will be against the current table toppers Gujarat Titans. It will be a difficult game for the hosts, although they have won their last two games. They would have a minor chance to qualify even if they lose the game if they lose the fixture by less than 5 runs and also Mumbai loses their next match.
Rain could have an impact on the game between RCB & GT
Meanwhile, there are reports that rain could have an impact on the game between RCB and GT. This further complicates things for the Bengaluru-based outfit. If the game gets abandoned, they will end up with 15 points. This would not be enough for them to reach the playoffs in case Mumbai Indians win their final game against SRH.
Hence, it is quite clear for RCB right now. They have their fortunes in their hands. It would be up to the likes of Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis to step up again. Rain gods should also show mercy in the first place.
