IPL 2024, know the qualification scenario of all the teams after Match-65 here.
IPL 2024 Playoffs Qualification Scenario: The 65th match of IPL 2024 was played today between Rajasthan Royals and Punjab Kings at Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati. In this match, Punjab team defeated Rajasthan by five wickets. However, there is not much change in the points table and qualification scenario due to the result of this match. RR team had already qualified for the playoffs while Punjab Kings were already out of the tournament.
The mathematics of the playoffs is such that, KKR and Rajasthan, currently a total of 2 teams can qualify for the playoffs. A total of 5 teams are in line for these two spots. Those five teams are Chennai Super Kings, Sunrisers Hyderabad, Delhi Capitals, Royal Challengers Bangalore and Lucknow Super Giants.
IPL 2024 playoff is something like this Qualification Scenario
However, now the chances of Delhi and Lucknow reaching the playoffs are very slim, because Delhi has played all its league matches, while Lucknow has only 1 match left against Mumbai Indians, if it does not win this match by a big margin. If it wins the match, it will be able to reach only 14 points. The bad thing for Delhi and Lucknow is that the net run rate is currently in negative.
So Chennai and Hyderabad have the highest chances of reaching the playoffs of the ongoing season. Hyderabad is currently at fourth position in the points table with 14 points, and they have two matches left. If it wins either of the two, it will easily qualify for the playoffs with 16 points.
The situation in Chennai is also similar. With 14 points in 13 matches, CSK is currently at third place in the points table. If they win the match against RCB on May 18, they will qualify for the playoffs with 16 points.
So, RCB’s hopes of reaching the playoffs rest on the fact that Hyderabad not only loses its next two matches, but also wins its last league match against CSK. Apart from this, he will have to pray that Hyderabad loses one of its remaining two matches by a big margin, only then his net run rate will be better than Hyderabad. Only after this can she qualify for the playoffs with 14 points.
