Royal Challengers Bengaluru secured its berth in the IPL 2026 Playoffs after a commanding 23-run win over Punjab Kings, which slumped to a sixth consecutive defeat at the HPCA stadium in Dharamshala on Sunday.

PBKS never got to stay ahead in the chase after losing three wickets inside the PowerPlay with Bhuvneshwar Kumar running through the top order.
