The Bengaluru-based side will meet CSK at home in their last league game.

If results go their way, the RCB-CSK match could become a knockout.

When batting first, RCB must win by more than 18 runs to take their net run rate past CSK.

If CSK set a 201-run target, RCB must chase it down in 18.1 overs.

LSG, DC and GT are also on the hunt to clinch a playoff spot.

These teams losing points in one of their remaining games will benefit RCB.

The NRR will be considered if multiple teams finish with 14 points.

RCB have an NRR of +0.387 after 13 matches, slightly behind CSK.

If SRH lose their two league games, both CSK and RCB can qualify.
