WPL 2023: Can RCB Still Qualify For Playoffs? Scenario Explained

Despite a horrible start to the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2023 campaign, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) aren't all out of the playoffs race. The franchise lost its first five matches of the inaugural season of the WPL before registering two back-to-back wins. The situation is such that they are placed 4th on the points table at present and need to win their last match at all costs in order to remain in the hunt for the playoffs. With Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals already through, there's just one place left in the next round of the tournament.

The likes of Gujarat Giants, Royal Challengers Bangalore, and UP Warriorz are all in the race to grab the third and final spot in the next round. However, only the Warriorz have their fate in their own hands. Both RCB and GG need to see some other results fall in their favour to qualify for the playoffs.

How Can RCB qualify?

So far in the tournament, RCB have secured victories over UP Warriorz and Gujarat Giants. Now, they have to beat Mumbai Indians by a big margin. Also, RCB need UP Warriorz, who still have to play two games, to lose both of their remaining league matches. Also, RCB do not need Gujarat Giants to beat UP Warriorz by a big margin as that would put them ahead of the Smriti Mandhana-led franchise in terms of Net Run Rate.

Having failed to hit the ground running in the first half of the season, RCB are paying the price for their below-par performances. Though all hope is not lost yet, they do need certain matches to end in their favour. Only then can the side head into the knockouts.

Skipper Ashleigh Gardner starred with both bat and ball, leading Gujarat Giants to a comprehensive six-wicket win over UP Warriorz in their Women's Premier League match in Vadodara on Sunday.

Opting to bowl, Gujarat produced a clinical effort with young spinner Priya Mishra returning impressive figures of 4-0-25-3. Skipper Gardner, Deandra Dottin (2/34), and Kashvee Gautam (1/15) also played key roles in restricting UPW to 143 for nine. Chasing 144 to win, the Giants were reduced to 22 for 2 with opener Beth Mooney and Dayalan Hemalata back in the pavilion after UPW introduced spin at both ends. However, Gardner produced an inspired knock, adding 55 runs off 42 balls with Laura Wolvaardt (22) to resurrect the innings. Gardner struck t...

'Not Taught About Sambhaji': Ex-Cricketer's 'Aurangzeb' Remarks Start Debate

The Vicky Kaushal-starrer movie 'Chhaava', based on the life and times of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj - the second ruler of the Maratha Confederacy and son of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, has received positive response from audience across the country. Apart from Vicky Kaushal as Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, Rashmika Mandanna (as Yesubai Bhonsale), Akshaye Khanna (as Aurangzeb), Ashutosh Rana (as Hambirrao Mohite), Diana Penty (as Zinat-un-Nissa Begum) and Divya Dutta (as Soyarabai) play prominent roles in the movie.   Former India cricket team star Aakash Chopra also liked the movie. He, however, raised some questions after watching the film.  "Watched Chhaava today. Incredible tale of bravery, selflessness and the sense of duty.  Genuine question—why were we not taught about Chattrapati Sambhaji Maharaj at all in school? Not even a mention anywhere!!!  We did learn though how Akbar was a great and fair emperor, and even have a very prominent road called Auran...
