With just 15 matches left in the league stage of IPL 2025, the playoff race has tightened dramatically. Not a single team has secured a top-four berth yet, but seven sides are still in contention to make the cut. ( Full Coverage | Schedule | Points Table)
Here's a detailed look at what each team needs to do to seal a spot in the knockouts:
Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB):
RCB are now on the brink of qualification after the SRH-DC washout. Just one more win will take them to 18 points and confirm a playoff spot, since nine wins will be enough irrespective of NRR. Even if they stay on 16, other results could still push them through. A top-two finish, though, would need two wins, and even that might not be enough depending on other results.
Punjab Kings (PBKS):
Punjab Kings can guarantee a top-two finish if they win all three of their remaining matches. Two wins will likely be enough to secure qualification, while even 15 points might be sufficient if results swing in their favour. But it라이브 바카라 a tricky road ahead with crucial games against MI and RR – both current top-five sides.
Mumbai Indians (MI):

Two wins will confirm their playoff spot, and three wins will almost certainly land them in the top two. However, three defeats could end their campaign as all their remaining opponents are playoff contenders.
Gujarat Titans (GT):
GT still have four games in hand and boast the second-best NRR behind MI. Two wins will secure their playoff berth, and they have the advantage of playing their final two matches at home where they are 4-1 this season. But lose all four, and they're out.
Delhi Capitals (DC)
The rain-hit no result against SRH gave DC a lifeline, but the road ahead is tough. They must win all three remaining matches to be assured of a place in the top four. With just one win in their last five, they'll need a quick turnaround. Even with 17 points, qualification could depend on NRR and other results.
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR):
KKR are hanging by a thread. They’ll need to win all three remaining games to reach 17 points, and even then, qualification isn’t guaranteed. NRR could come into play heavily. Any slip-up will almost certainly knock them out.
Lucknow Super Giants (LSG):
LSG are now in a must-win zone. With three defeats in a row, they’ll need to win all four of their remaining matches to finish on 16 and hope for other results to fall in place. Their poor NRR makes the task even more daunting. One more loss, and LSG will officially be out.
The Bottom Line:
RCB need one win to qualify.
PBKS, MI, and GT are all in control of their destiny.
DC, KKR, and LSG are in must-win territory with varying degrees of dependence on NRR and other results.
