How can Royal Challengers Bangalore reach the top-2?

Gujarat Titans (GT), Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) have qualified for the playoffs and all three teams have a good chance of making it to the top-2. GT has nine wins and 19 points from 12 matches and if they win their remaining two matches, they will make it to the top-2.

RCB and PBKS have 17 points and if they win the last two matches, both can reach a maximum of 21 points. In that case, the team with the better run rate will play Qualifier 1. To qualify as one of the top-2 teams, RCB need to win both their matches and hope that either Punjab Kings or Gujarat Titans lose one of their matches.
