Playoff IBL 2024: Satria Muda And Prawira Bandung Secure The First Game

JAKARTA - The 2024 Indonesian Basketball League (IBL) playoffs have opened on Thursday, July 11, 2024. There were two matches presented, namely RANS Simba Bogor vs Prawira Harum Bandung and Satria Muda vs Kesatria Bengawan Solo.

Prawira and RANS met at the Playoff because both teams ended Regular Season in third and sixth place in the standings.

The first game duel was held at RANS home, IPB Vocational School Gymnasium. Prawira's visitors managed to secure the first game with a convincing score of 81-66.

The next match, Satria Muda acted as host at the Britama Arena. They managed to overcome the visitors' resistance with a far advantage, 90-64.

Furthermore, the second game of Playoff will be held on Sunday, July 14, 2024.

Prawira Harum will take turns to act as host for RANS Simba at the C-tra Arena, Bandung. Meanwhile, Kesatria Bengawan Solo will host Satria Muda at the Sritex Arena, Solo.

For Prawira, they made a profit because the game was held at home. Moreover, they are already 1-0 ahead of RANS.

The victory of the second game will take Prawira to the semifinals of the IBL 2024 which means that he does not need a third game match.

Meanwhile, Satria Muda, who is already 1-0 ahead of Kesatria Bengawan Solo, will struggle to secure the second game because they have to travel.

The potential of the Bengawan Solo Knight to equalize in front of its own supporters is also great.

If RANS Simba and Kesatria Bengawan Solo win the second game, then the Playoff will proceed to the third game which is scheduled to take place on July 15, 2024.

Apart from that, the 2024 IBL Playoff will also bring together Dewa United Banten vs Borneo Hornbills Bogor and Bali United vs Pelita Jaya Jakarta.

Their first game is scheduled for July 18, 2024. Borneo and Bali United will play host first.

Then, the second game will be held on July 20, 2024 with Dewa United and Pelita Jaya who will host their opponents.

If their two games end in a 1-1 draw, then the third party will be held on July 21, 2024.
