Here's the IPL 2024 Playoff Scenario for Each Team
Already Qualified:
Kolkata Knight Riders: With the KKR vs RR IPL 2024 match abandoned, the Kolkata Knight Riders have stayed at the top of the points table and ensured a place in Qualifier 1 of the tournament. KKR were the first team to make it to the playoffs of the IPL 2024 and will be playing in Qualifier 1 after 11 long years.
Sunrisers Hyderabad: Sunrisers Hyderabad became the third team to qualify for the IPL 2024 playoffs but have now got to the second spot after their win against Punjab Kings. SRH now have 17 points and will take on KKR in Qualifier 1.
Rajasthan Royals: The Rajasthan Royals became the second team to qualify for IPL 2024 playoffs after DC's win over LSG. But after KKR vs RR got washed out they slipped down to the third spot. The Royals will now face RCB in the eliminator.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: After spending a lot of time at the bottom of the IPL 2024 points table, RCB have staged a dramatic turnaround and now qualified for the IPL 2024 playoffs. RCB will face the Royals in a do-and-die situation in the eliminator as they are placed fourth.
Eliminated:
Chennai Super Kings: CSK got eliminated after their loss against RCB. Super Kings had a chance but because of the loss against RCB, the defending champions have been knocked out. Super Kings needed to win the match for the best-case scenario and could've even qualified but failed to.
Delhi Capitals: Delhi Capitals have already been eliminated from the tournament after the SRH vs GT match ended in a washout. The result saw SRH through to the semifinals, ending their hopes, with the final spot up for grabs between CSK and RCB.
Lucknow Super Giants: Lucknow Super Giants, too, are as good as eliminated, with 12 points from 13 matches. LSG have 12 points and an NRR of -0.787. Even a big victory against Mumbai Indians, which will take their point tally to 14, is unlikely to see their NRR eclipse that of CSK or RCB.
Gujarat Titans: Gujarat Titans were officially eliminated from the IPL 2024 playoffs race after their match against KKR was washed out in Ahmedabad. Later on, their last match was also unfortunately abandoned due to rain in Hyderabad and they finished IPL 2024 with 12 points from 14 matches.
Punjab Kings: Punjab Kings were eliminated earlier on after a defeat to Royal Challengers Bengaluru by 60 runs. Punjab Kings, a side which is yet to win the IPL title, finished with 10 points from 13 matches.
Mumbai Indians: Mumbai Indians were the first team to be eliminated from the playoffs race after Sunrisers Hyderabad beat Lucknow Super Giants by 10 wickets earlier in the season. Hardik Pandya and his men have won just four matches and can pick up one more victory in their remaining match against LSG, which will help them end IPL 2024 on a high.
