IPL 2024 Playoff Scenario: Know Which Team’s Chances Are To Reach Playoffs
IPL Playoff Qualification Probability: Delhi Capitals gave Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore a lease of life by beating Lucknow Super Giants in a crucial match for the playoff race on Tuesday. Had Lucknow Super Giants won this match, the chances of Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore reaching the playoffs would have been reduced. But this win by Delhi Capitals changed everything. With this win by Delhi Capitals, the match between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Chennai Super Kings on May 18 will be a mini eliminator as the team that wins this match will qualify for the playoffs. Apart from this, if Sunrisers Hyderabad lose their remaining two matches by a big margin, Delhi Capitals are also a possibility. After the 64th match of IPL 2024, Star Sports has tweeted about the prospects of all the teams showing the percentage of all the teams reaching the playoffs.

Sunrisers Hyderabad have 87.3 percent chances of reaching the IPL playoffs. While Chennai has 72.7 percent, Bengaluru 39.3 percent, Delhi Capitals 0.07 percent and Lucknow Super Giants 0.2 percent. Let us tell you that if Hyderabad wins its last two matches and Chennai beats Bengaluru, then Hyderabad and Chennai will be the remaining two teams that will make it to the playoffs. But if Hyderabad lose their last two matches and Bengaluru beat Chennai then it will come down to net run rate. Apart from this, if Chennai Super Kings lose to Bengaluru and Hyderabad win the second match, then Chennai will be out of the playoff race. Bengaluru don’t need to win by a huge margin to overtake Chennai’s run rate. Bengaluru have won five matches in a row and will look to book their place in the knockout stage by defeating Chennai in the eliminator before the playoffs.
