Coming to the topic, here is a look at the equations that could lead to RCB getting qualified for the playoffs.

RCB qualification scenario in a rain-curtailed match (approx 1st innings score):

15 overs match – (190) restrict to 172 or chase in 13.1 overs.

10 overs match – (140) restrict to 122 or chase in 8.1 overs.

5-over match – (90) restrict to 72 or chase in 3.1 overs.
