Fortunes seem to have turned for RCB since last four games, as the team who was struggling to register a win has won four games in a row. Bangalore still has three matches left in this tournament, if they manage to win all their remaining matches they have a good chance to make it to the playoff, however, their Net Run Rate will play a crucial role then.
