They were pretty consistent throughout the season and put in impressive performances. RCB finished second after the league stage with nine wins and 19 points from 14 matches. As a result, they sealed their spot in the first qualifier, where they thrashed the Punjab Kings (PBKS) by eight wickets to progress straight to the final.
