Royal Challengers Bangalore's (RCB) chances of reaching the IPL 2023 playoffs have suffered a serious blow after they suffered a 6-wicket defeat against Mumbai Indians (MI) at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. MI chased down a massive target of 2022 with 21 balls to spare. This put a huge dent in RCB's Net Run Rate (NRR).

RCB fans are now wondering whether the team can still qualify for the playoffs. RCB is currently one of the four teams stuck on 10 points. He has an NRR of 0.345 and is in the 7th position.

Now RCB will need to win each of their three matches to qualify for the playoffs. Faf du Plessis-led RCB will have to win all three matches by big margins to improve their net run rate. Faf du Plessis-led RCB is also likely to depend on the results of the other team to make it to the knockout stage.

RCB has already played six matches at home and now three matches are left to play. They will travel to Jaipur on Sunday to face Rajasthan Royals before traveling to Hyderabad against Sunrisers Hyderabad. On May 21, RCB will play against Gujarat Titans, which is the last league game of the season.
