RCB schedule 2022
To brush it up, the imminent IPL season would be played with the 10 teams being divided into two ‘virtual groups’ of five each, and with rankings based on the number of IPL titles lifted and final appearances in the previous 14 seasons.
Each team would play against the four other teams in their group twice each, and once against other five teams in the other group. The one remaining league match would be played against the corresponding team in the other group, which takes the total league matches tally to 14 each for each franchise.
The Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), who are placed at the third spot in Group B, would face the Rajasthan Royals (RR)-who are placed at third spot in Group A, two times around.
RCB’s opening match of the season would take place at the DY Patil Stadium against the Punjab Kings (PBKS) on March 27- the first day of the double-header from 7:30 pm IST.
The four other teams in RCB’s group- CSK, SRH, PBKS, and GT would play against each other two times each, while MI, KKR, DC, and LSG would lock horns against RCB once each during the league phase.
