IPL 2024 Playoff Qualifying Situations for Every Team Following KKR vs. MI, Match 60

With the Indian Premier League 2024 (IPL) nearing its last stretch, teams are making every effort to guarantee a postseason berth.

The battle has been fierce, with hitters and bowlers exchanging blows in the 60 matches that have already been played. Initially taking the stage were batsmen, but bowlers are increasingly coming forward to level the playing field. Excitation grows with every game since there are just ten games remaining and three playoff positions up for grabs.

After the sixty-first game, the following is the status of each team:

1. Kolkata Knight Riders

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), with 18 points from 12 games, are atop the points standings. In nine, they have secured the win. Now that they know they will make the playoffs, they will concentrate on finishing first and will be waiting for their opponent in Ahmedabad.

2.  Royals of Rajasthan

With 16 points, Rajasthan Royals (RR) are behind KKR, but they are still in the running because to their better net run rate. They take on Chennai Super Kings at Chepauk after winning eight of their last eleven games. Their chances of making the playoffs would improve if they won, solidifying their hold on the top two spot.

3. Sunrisers Hyderabad

Because of their emphasis on a strong batting lineup, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) have turned into powerful competitors in the IPL 2024, surpassing batting odds. They have won seven of the 12 games they have played, totaling 14 points. They now want to indicate their intentions in the competition by placing themselves in the top two.

4. Chennai Super Kings

After losing to Gujarat Titans in Match 59, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) now have a difficult situation and their hopes of making the playoffs are in risk. They have won six of the last 12 games, giving them 12 points. To maintain their prospects of making the playoffs, they need to win both of their remaining games and pray that Lucknow Super Giants’ troubles continue.

5. Delhi Capitals

After CSK’s loss to GT, the Delhi Capitals (DC) are aiming for a postseason berth. Their circumstances are similar to those of CSK, but if they lose again, their low net run rate could become a problem. They have 12 points after six victories in 12 games. They must win both of their remaining games and CSK’s match against RR in order to guarantee a top-four berth.

6. Lucknow Super Giants

Along with CSK and DC, the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) are vying for a top-four finish. However, if CSK and DC continue to win, their low net run rate could become costly. They have 14 points after 12 games, with six victories. However, they will probably lose their final two games and their chances of making the playoffs.

7. Royal Challengers Bengaluru

After upsetting the Punjab Kings, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) have shown their strength with four straight wins, keeping them in the running for the playoffs. They need on CSK, DC, and LSG’s losses to continue their playoff push. They’ve won five of their last 12 games, giving them 10 points.

8. Gujarat Titans

Gujarat Titans (GT) defeated CSK in a very important match to keep themselves in the playoff hunt. In 12 games, they have five victories under their belt and 10 points. Their chances of making the playoffs, however, are dependent on a number of favourable events in addition to a very low net run rate.

9. Mumbai Indians

Pre-IPL 2024, the Mumbai Indians (MI) were expected to be a formidable team, but they have underperformed, winning just four of their 13 games and only accruing eight points. They were eliminated from the league early, and their most recent loss to KKR in Match 60 has made matters worse, leaving them desperate for a miracle.

10. Punjab Kings

Following a bright beginning, Punjab Kings (PBKS) experienced a series of disappointments. Their top order was unable to produce vital runs because their captain was injured for a large portion of the competition. With just four victories in 12 games and eight points overall, they were the second team to leave the league.
