New Delhi. Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) suffered defeat against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on Friday. The Hyderabad team defeated RCB by 42 runs. This was RCB’s fourth defeat in IPL 2025. This defeat has pushed Virat Kohli’s team to third place in the point table. Now the question is whether even after this defeat, RCB can return to the top-2 in the point table. If yes, how and if not, then what are those teams that can spoil their game.
Royal Challengers Bangalore’s point table now has 17 points from 13 matches. Punjab Kings also have the same number of points, but Shreyas Iyer’s team is better than Bengaluru in net run rate. RCB now has the same league match left. If she defeats Lucknow Supergiants in her next match on Tuesday, she will have 19 points. In this way, she can return to the top-2 in the point table. But for this, he will also have to depend on the matches of Punjab Kings and Gujarat Titans.

This is possible, but the same thing is that Mumbai Indians are not in the hands. It is a matter of luck that no predictions can be made about.
