Along with this, it is expected that Kolkata Knight Riders can remain the table topper. Accordingly, now the discussion is on which team, Hyderabad or Rajasthan, will be in second place based on Sunday’s result. It is generally believed that the net run rate decides who tops the IPL points table. However, an interesting scenario is one in which SRH (+0.406) could finish below RR (+0.273) in the points table despite having a better net run rate, if both the teams are tied on points.

Thus SRH will finish the league stage with 16 points. At the same time, if Rajasthan Royals loses to Kolkata Knight Riders in the last league match of IPL 2024 in Guwahati, then they will have only 16 points. Hyderabad’s run rate is better than Rajasthan, but if it happens then Rajasthan will be second in the points table. This is because the number of wins in the league stage is considered the first criteria to decide the ranking of teams in the IPL. Here also if both the teams are on par, then the net run rate comes into play. As per the rule, RR will finish the league stage with eight wins and SRH with seven wins and hence will finish second in the IPL 2024 points table in the given scenario.

IPL 2024 Playoffs Qualification Scenario: Even after the defeat, RR in top 2, now there is a fight between the teams for the remaining two places.

IPL 2024, know the qualification scenario of all the teams after Match-65 here. RR vs PBKS (Photo Source: BCCI/IPL) 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.
