RCB's Path Forward in IPL 2025
RCB Secures Top-Two Finish, Ready for Qualifier 1
With this win, RCB secured a top-two finish in the points table. They are set to face the Punjab Kings, led by Shreyas Iyer, in Qualifier 1. A victory in this match would guarantee them a place in the IPL 2025 final. Josh Hazlewood, who had been sidelined due to suspension, is expected to return for Qualifier 1, bolstering RCB's chances.
Should RCB not win in Qualifier 1, they will have another chance in Qualifier 2, where they could meet either the Mumbai Indians or Gujarat Titans, depending on the outcome of the Eliminator.
