If we look at the IPL 2024 playoffs scenario, only Mumbai Indians are out of the race to reach the top 4 this season so far. As of May 8, 57 out of 70 league matches have been played, but the top 4 teams are yet to be decided. Even now, not a single team has been able to get a ticket for the playoffs. In the meantime, find out which is your favorite team apart from MI, who can qualify for the playoffs and what are the chances of that team finishing in the top 4.
1. KKR and RR have a chance to be number one
Kolkata Knight Riders are number one in the points table of this season IAPL 2024. KKR team need to win one match to get playoff ticket. The team has achieved 16 points in 11 matches. Rajasthan Royals have also achieved the same number of points in the same number of matches. RR need to win even one of the remaining three matches to book a ticket to the playoffs. However, these two teams have a chance to finish in the top 2, giving them two chances to reach the finals. For this both the teams have to win at least two matches.
2. SRH and CSK have power
Sunrisers Hyderabad and Chennai Super Kings also have a chance to qualify for the playoffs. SRH will have to win one more match, while CSK will have to win at least two of the remaining three matches. SRH have 14 points in their account, while CSK have 12 points in their account. However, CSK has played 11 matches. CSK and SRH also have a chance to finish in the top 2, but as per the maths, this looks like 5 percent chance. CSK has a 4 percent chance of finishing in the top 2.
3. Delhi and Lucknow also in the race
Delhi Capitals and Lucknow Super Giants may not have given up hope of making the playoffs either, as these teams still have a chance to enter the playoffs with 16 points. However, this season it is also possible that a team with 16 points will not get a playoff ticket, as two teams have already secured 16 points. The Delhi team cannot reach the top as the situation itself is stuck in this situation. However, his chances of finishing at number 2 are less than 4 percent. Same thing happens with LSG.
4. Match between RCB and Punjab
Royal Challengers Bangalore and Punjab Kings teams can reach maximum 14 points. The match between these two teams is on 9th May. Whichever of the two teams lose, they will be out of the playoff race and will be considered out, as 12 points will not cut a playoff ticket this season.
5. MI out and Gujarat depend on luck
Mumbai Indians are out of the IPL 2024 playoffs race and Gujarat Titans are on the same path. Gujarat has won 4 out of 11 matches. Gujarat will be completely out of the playoff race as soon as they lose the match, but it will depend on luck until the team loses.
