VIDEO: Royal Challengers Bangalore out of playoff contention

The no result keeps Royals mathematically alive in the tournament as they have 11 points from 13 games with one match to go.

Royal Challengers Bangalore’s (RCB) last hope of making it to the Indian Premier League (IPL) play-offs finally ended on Tuesday after their contest with Rajasthan Royals was abandoned at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, here due to continous rain.

With the result, both the teams were awarded a point each.

Chasing a 63-run target in a rain-hit contest, which was reduced to five over per side, the visitors were at 41/1 in 3.2 overs when rains washed out the match.

Opener Liam Livingstone was unbeaten on 11 runs while Sanju Samson smashed a 13-ball 28 to keep his side on the hunt before falling to Yuzvendra Chahal (1/0) in the fourth over.

RCB posted 62/7 in the allotted five overs.
