Can Royal Challengers Bengaluru qualify for playoffs if RCB vs KKR clash of IPL 2026 gets washed out?

The RCB vs KKR match has been delayed due to rain.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are locking horns in the 57th match of the Indian Premier League 2026 on May 13 in Raipur.

Rajat Patidar & Co. are placed second in the points table with 14 points, while KKR are placed in the eighth spot with nine points. RCB can inch closer to the playoffs if they win tonight’s game.

Although KKR are not out of the playoffs race yet, their chances of reaching the top four are very slim. They need to win their next four matches to be able to make it to the playoffs. Still, the results of other matches should be in their favour.

Unfortunately, the RCB vs KKR match has been affected by rain. Due to continuous rain ahead of the match, the toss has been delayed.

Can RCB qualify for playoffs if tonight’s game gets washed out?

Yes, even if tonight’s clash gets washed out due to rain, RCB will have a good chance to qualify for the playoffs. The Rajat Patidar & Co. currently take the second spot in the points table with 14 points. They have won seven games and lost four out of 11.

If the RCB vs KKR match gets washed out, Bengaluru will have 15 points with them and two more games left in the league stage.

Usually, a team need 16 points to qualify for the playoffs and if RCB win one of their next two matches, they can finish in the top four positions in the points table.

Currently, Gujarat Titans take the top spot in the points table with 16 points, followed by the RCB with 14 points. Sunrisers Hyderabad (14 points) and Punjab Kings (13 points) are next in the list. These four teams are among the favourites to book a berth in the playoffs.
