If RCB bat first, they must win by at least 18 runs. For example, if they score 200, they need to restrict CSK to 182 or less. This requirement remains even in a shortened five-over game: if RCB score 75, they need to limit CSK to 57 or less.
If RCB bat second and CSK score 200, RCB must chase 201 in 18.5 overs or faster. If they hit a six from 200, they need to finish the chase with at least 8 balls remaining. In a five-over game, RCB would need to chase 75 in 3.1 overs to surpass CSK’s net run rate.
