How Both CSK and RCB can Qualify for IPL Playoffs: Now only 8 matches are left in this year’s IPL. So far only 1 team has been able to make it to the playoffs (IPL 2024 Playoffs Qualification Scenario) and the equation of qualification looks very exciting. Talking about Royal Challengers Bangalore, they have made a great comeback in IPL 2024. They have kept themselves in the play-off race by winning 5 consecutive matches.
7 teams are in the race for three play-off spots. CSK and RCB won on Super Sunday by defeating Rajasthan (RR) and Delhi (DC) respectively at home. CSK and RCB will now face each other in their final league match in Bengaluru on Saturday. There is a possibility that one of them will reach the playoffs. However, there is also a possibility that both of them can go to the playoffs.
Before we see how both Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and RCB can reach the playoffs, let’s see how the points table looks after the 62nd match of the IPL.
IPL Remaining Matches: List of remaining matches of IPL 2024
Chances of CSK and RCB in the Top 4 of IPL Playoffs (Chennai and RCB likely to go to Top 4)
Now let us know the top 4 of CSK and RCB. Okay, what are the real chances of both CSK and RCB being in the IPL Playoffs Top 4?
How can both CSK and RCB qualify? (HOW BOTH CSK AND RCB CAN QUALIFY FOR IPL PLAYOFFS)
RCB and CSK Playoffs Qualification Chances: If both the teams have to reach the playoffs, many other results will have to go in their favor. RCB should defeat Chennai in the match between the two teams on Saturday, but not by a huge margin. Even if Chennai Super Kings loses, there should not be a big drop in their net run rate.
First and foremost, SRH need to lose both their remaining matches (against GT and PBKS at home) and remain on 14 points. Along with this, the special thing is that SRH will have to lose by a big margin. This seems unlikely as SRH are in good form on home soil and will start as favorites in both the matches.
If SRH wins even one of its remaining two matches, then the race for the playoffs will become more difficult for teams like CSK, RCB, DC, LSG and GT because then only 2 spots will be left for the top 4 and for that everyone will have to compete. Will have to fight.
Let’s see which more matches should go in favor of CSK and RCB
Gujarat (GT) should lose to Kolkata and beat Sunrisers (SRH) in Ahmedabad on Monday.
Delhi (DC) will have to defeat Lucknow (LSG) in their next match.
Lucknow (LSG) loses to Mumbai. Lucknow team beats Mumbai by a huge margin.
If all results go as predicted, around 4 or 5 teams will be tied on 14 points.
Here’s how the points table will look at the end of the league stage.
1. KKR- 20/22 – points
2. RR – 18/20 – points
3. CSK/RCB – 14 – points
4.RCB/CSK – 14 – points
5.SRH – 14 – points
6.DC – 14 – points
7.LSG – 14/12 points
8.GT – 10/12 marks
9.PBKS – 8/10 marks
10. MI – 10 points
Overall, there are still very slim chances for both CSK and RCB to qualify. This can happen only if RCB beats CSK, SRH loses both their games and LSG wins just one of their two games. And Chennai and Bengaluru can maintain better net run rate than SRH, LSG, DC and GT.
