Royal Challenger Banglore(RCB):

Virat Kohli led RCB is at 2nd spot in the points table and they need to win at least one match out of 2 to step up into the business end. Royals managed to win 7 matches out of 12 till now. The last 2 games did not go as planned for Virat Kohli and Co.  The match against CSK they lost by 8 wickets while in the recent one against Mumbai Indians they lost by 6 wickets. 

RCB need to buckle up as they have performed above par expectations this season. This edition of IPL has been the dream IPL for them. They have been in a good form till now. Even if they lose both the remaining matches they can still qualify for Playoffs considering their is no huge dip in NRR.

Their playoffs campaign not only depends on their performances but also on other teams? stats. So, there is a lot of calculations going around in the management. 

SRH would hope one of the RCB, DC, or KXIP does not touch 16 points mark in the points table. If this happens SRH would qualify for Playoffs due to their higher NRR than all other teams finishing on 14 points.

The good sign for Hyderabad is their Skipper is back in form. The changes they made in the last matches turned out successful.
