Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) are set to play against Mumbai Indians in match 54 of the 2026 Indian Premier League at Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium in Raipur. Currently positioned fourth in the points table with 12 points from 10 matches and a net run rate of 1.234, RCB needs to secure at least two wins from their remaining four matches to enhance their chances of qualifying for the playoffs. Historically, a total of 16 points has been sufficient for playoff qualification. If RCB manages to win three or more matches, they could potentially finish in the top two, which would grant them an additional playoff game. Conversely, if they win only one match, they would end up with just 14 points, leaving them vulnerable to teams like Rajasthan Royals, Chennai Super Kings, and Kolkata Knight Riders, who are also in contention for playoff spots. RCB's superior net run rate may provide an edge in tiebreaker scenarios.
