The best case scenario for Royal Challengers Bangalore is a win over Gujarat and the Mumbai Indians have to defeat the Delhi Capitals. In that instance, RCB will rise to 16 points, while the rest of the team will remain at 14 points or lower. The reason for this is that their net run rate of -0.323 is insufficient to repair.
Given their current situation, Bangalore would be wise not to make any substantial changes. Their chosen group of players has delivered, and all they need to do now is have a little more faith in them.
After a string of bad luck throughout the IPL season, Virat Kohli is anticipated to shine at the finish of the competition. Bangalore can expect runs from Rajat Patidar and Glen Maxwell, as well as some usual Dinesh Kartik finishing touches.
Wanindu Hasaranga has been peaking at the appropriate time with the ball and will be supported by Harshal Patel and Josh Hazlewood.
The Gujarat Titans have nothing to worry about because they are the only team that has officially qualified for the playoffs thus far.
Not only that, but their 62-run triumph over Lucknow Super Giants and 7-wicket victory over Chennai Super Kings have assured them of a top-two finish, which means that even if they lose in Qualifier 1, they will have another chance to make it to the final in Qualifier 2.
