As the league stage of the Indian Premier League 2022 edition approaches its culmination, all eyes are on the three playoff berths available. The Royal Challengers Bangalore suffered a setback on Friday as Punjab Kings scuppered their playoff hopes by winning Match No. 60 of the IPL. RCB lost the game by a fat margin of 54 runs, which could come back to haunt the Faf du Plessis-led side if the qualification process is left to be decided on the virtue of net run rate.
