With 22 matches left in the league stage before the playoffs, every franchise is pushing hard to get a spot in the last four. After DC Vs KKR match, RCB are leading the points table, whereas five-time champions, CSK, are at the bottom.
Let's discuss the points table standings and the scenarios of the playoffs for each team
RCB are at the top of the points table with 14 points in 10 matches. They need one more win to ease their way into the playoffs. They still have four matches in the league stage, and with one more win, they can seal a spot in the playoffs. But they will be eyeing the first two spots with the kind of momentum they have.
The five-time champions have started to regain their wins after losing a few matches without their premier bowler, Jasprit Bumrah. Deepak Chahar and Trent Boult have also done well with the seam bowling. Will Jacks has also done well when required.
They have 12 points after 10 matches and are in second place in the points table. They need a couple of wins this season to easily secure a spot in the playoffs.
With six wins in nine games, the Gujarat Titans have gained 12 points and currently stand in third place. They may need two more wins in rest of their five games to easily qualify for the playoffs.
The Capitals also have 12 points in 10 matches. They also need to win two of their next four matches to qualify for the playoffs. Otherwise, the net run-rate will come into play.
Punjab Kings have 11 points in nine matches as their last match was washed out, and they shared points with KKR. They desperately need to win three of their next five matches to qualify easily. With only two wins, their NRR may come into play.
LSG have five wins in 10 matches and currently stand in sixth place. To finish in the top four, they need to win at least three out of four matches to qualify easily. With only two wins, things may become difficult for them.
The defending champions have nine points after 10 matches. They need to win almost every game from now on to qualify for the playoffs. With only three wins, things may become difficult for them.
They are in seventh place in the points table after only three wins in 10 matches. After Vaibhav Suryavanshi's historic knock in the last match, their hopes have risen. They need to win every match from now on with big margins to keep themselves alive in the race for the playoffs.
SRH are ninth in the points table with six points in nine matches. They need to win every match from here to qualify for the playoffs. They have a big batting lineup and an able bowling attack. They can keep themselves in the race, but will have to win matches.
CSK are at the bottom of the points table, and they may be the first team to be eliminated if they lose their next match against Punjab Kings in Chennai on Wednesday. One more defeat and their campaign ends in the IPL 2025.
