Mumbai Indians have lost 8 out of 11 matches in IPL 2024.
The IPL 2024 season has been no less than a nightmare for Mumbai Indians. This season is getting longer for them with each passing match. The team has played 11 matches so far this season, out of which they have won only three. Although everyone believes that the paths to the playoffs are closed for Mumbai, but if we look at the mathematical equations, Mumbai can still reach the playoffs with 12 points. But yes, one thing is that for this they will have to depend a lot on other teams. You will also think how this can happen, so let us tell you how this is possible.
MI Qualification Scenario: How can Mumbai reach the playoffs?
IPL It has been seen in the history of a season that teams are not able to qualify for the playoffs even with 14 points and this season now Mumbai Indians will not be able to reach even this many points. MI has three matches left in the tournament, even if it wins these three matches, it will still be able to reach only 12 points. Although officially she is still not out of the tournament.
This means that somewhere mathematically they have a chance of reaching the top four for the playoffs. Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders, who are currently in the top-2, remain in the top-2 by winning two out of their remaining four matches and Lucknow Super Giants and Sunrisers Hyderabad will play against each other on May 8. If the team loses all the matches except 1, then the winning team will have 14 points and will end the league stage at the third position.
In such a situation, other 7 teams will have a chance to qualify for the playoffs with 12 points, which will also include Royal Challengers Bangalore along with Mumbai Indians. Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Capitals have 10-10 points, if both the teams win only 1-1 match from here then they will also be able to reach 12 points only. Whereas Punjab Kings and Gujarat Titans will have to win at least two out of the remaining four matches to reach this number of points.
