IPL 2024 Playoff Qualification Equation -


Rajasthan Royals (Played 9 matches, 8 won eight, and lost one, total points 16, net run rate +0.694)




2008 IPL champions Rajasthan Royals (RR) have been the most impressive team in IPL 2024. The Royals have won eight of their nine matches this season and currently have 16 points. The team is on top of the IPL 2024 points table. He still has five matches left. In such a situation, the Royals should not have any problem in qualifying for the IPL 2024 playoffs. With another win, this team led by Sanju Samson will reach the playoffs. The team can also finish the league round on top. They are one of the favorites to win the title this season. 

Kolkata Knight Riders (Played nine, won 6 and , lost 3, total points 12, net run rate +1.096)



Two-time winners Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have been one of the most impressive teams this season. Under the guidance of mentor and former captain Gautam Gambhir, Knight Riders have so far registered six wins and lost three. The team led by Shreyas Iyer has been one of the best performing teams with the bat. KKR's net run rate +1.096 testifies to this. KKR need to win at least two of their remaining five matches to book their place in the IPL 2024 playoffs. Looking at recent form, KKR will be favorites to qualify for the playoffs and finish in the top two.


Royal Challengers Bangalore (Played 10 matches, won 3 and , 7 lost , total points 6, net run rate -0.415)



Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) can still qualify for the IPL 2024 playoffs with a morale-boosting nine-wicket win over Gujarat Titans. After scoring six points from 10 matches, RCB are at the bottom (10th) in the 10-team table with three wins and seven losses. As a result, the Faf du Plessis-led side not only needs to win their last four matches by big margins, but also have to hope that the other teams also lose by big margins. Any more defeat from here will take RCB out of the race for the IPL 2024 playoffs. Therefore, RCB has the least chance to qualify this season.

Mumbai Indians (Played 10 matches, won three, lost seven, total points 6, net run rate -0.272)



The performance of five-time IPL champion Mumbai Indians in the current season has been very poor. MI, under newly appointed captain Hardik Pandya, has managed just three wins from 10 matches in IPL 2024. With just six points, MI are placed ninth in the IPL 2024 points table and need a miracle to reach the top four. Hardik's team can now reach the maximum of 14 points and for this they need to win all their remaining four matches. At the same time, it will also have to be hoped that the results of the remaining matches will be in their favor.

Punjab Kings (Played nine, won three, lost 6, total points 6, net run rate -0.187)



Punjab Kings' record-breaking eight-wicket win over Kolkata Knight Riders has kept them alive in IPL 2024. After registering three wins and facing six losses, Punjab are eighth in the IPL 2024 points table with six points from nine matches. Interestingly, Punjab have not qualified for the IPL playoffs since reaching the final in 2014. Considering their negative net run rate, Punjab need to win all their remaining five matches by good margins and also hope that other results go in their favor if they are to make it to the IPL 2024 playoffs.

Gujarat Titans (Played 10 matches, won 4, and lost 6, total points eight, net run rate -1.113)



Last season's finalists Gujarat Titans (GT) have had a disappointing IPL 2024 campaign so far. Under the leadership of new captain Shubhman Gill, the Titans have won four and lost six this season. With eight points from 10 matches, GT's chances of IPL 2024 playoff qualification look bleak. With a net run-rate of -1.113, the Titans not only need to win their remaining four matches by big margins, but they will also need help from other teams to qualify for the IPL 2024 playoffs.

Delhi Capitals (Played 11 matches, won five, and lost six, total points 10, net run rate -0.442)



Delhi Capitals (DC) have won five of their 11 matches so far this season. Rishabh Pant-led Capitals are placed sixth in the IPL 2024 points table with 10 points. He has played the most matches at this stage of the league. Having won three of their last five matches, the Capitals are still in the race to reach the playoffs. With a net run-rate of -0.442, DC will need to win all their remaining three matches by good margins to turn their net run rate positive and better than the teams above.

Sunrisers Hyderabad (Played nine, won five,and  lost four, total points 10, net run rate +0.075)



Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) made a strong start to their IPL 2024 campaign as they won five of their first seven matches. Sunrisers had to face defeat in their last two matches. The Pat Cummins-led side has been heavily dependent on its opening batsmen Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma, who have performed stormily in most of the matches. Like CSK, Hyderabad also has 10 points from nine matches and needs to win three of the remaining five matches to stay in the top four. Sunrisers still have to play four matches in Hyderabad. There is a tough competition for two places between Sunrisers, Chennai and Lucknow.

Chennai Super Kings (Played nine matches, won five, lost four, total points 10, net run rate +0.810)



Defending champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have struggled away from home (Chepauk) in IPL 2024. Five-time IPL winners CSK had registered a narrow win over MI at the Wankhede Stadium, while having won four of their five matches at Chepauk this season. Chennai Super Kings, led by new captain Ruturaj Gaikwad, have 10 points from nine matches and will have to win three of the remaining five matches to seal a place in the IPL 2024 playoffs. CSK still has to play two more matches at home. CSK is one of the favorites to qualify for the IPL 2024 playoffs.
