It’s a battle within the battle. The four teams that have qualified for the IPL Playoffs are now involved in an intense contest to finish in the Top 2 of the points table, which ensures two opportunities to make it to the final.

Three-time runners-up Royal Challengers Bangalore, who are seeking an elusive IPL crown, feel it’s their best chance this time around. As they prepare to take on the already-eliminated Sunrisers Hyderabad on Friday in a league match that was shifted from Bengaluru to Lucknow due to the rain threat, RCB will be glad to play away from home as they have won only two of their six matches at the Chinnaswamy Stadium. On the contrary, they have triumphed in all six away ties, and if they manage to defeat Lucknow Super Giants here on May 27 in their last match of the league phase, they will hold the unique feat of winning all away games in a single IPL season.
