RCB Playoff entry: The 15th edition of IPL 2022 has reached its peak. With only 7 games remaining in the league stage, there is fierce competition to reach the playoffs. The Gujarat Titans have already secured a place in the playoffs. Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) Playoff entry no much easy, these two team need to defeat.

Second-placed Rajasthan Royals and Lucknow Super Giants have scored 16 points each and need to play one match each IPL 2022, but the losers will easily enter the playoffs. Five teams, including the RCB, are battling for the remaining one spot.

Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings are already out of the playoff race. The rest of the Sunrisers Hyderabad (10 points), Punjab Kings (12 points), Kolkata Knight Riders (12 points), Delhi Capitals (12 points) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (14 points) have kept the playoffs alive. But only one team out of these five can enter playoffs.

The 14-point RCB playoffs must be defeated by the remaining four teams and the RCB must win the Gujarat Titans by a huge margin in their last game. Then it would have scored 16 points. Let us keep an eye on the scoreboard before going into more detail.
