Sunrisers hyderabad, kolkata Knight Riders, and delhi Capitals are out of the playoffs. gujarat is currently the only team that has qualified for the playoffs in the 16th season of IPL. Apart from delhi and hyderabad, all the remaining teams are fighting to qualify for the playoffs. After yesterday's match between Sunrisers hyderabad and gujarat Titans, the playoff situation has become a bit clearer. gujarat Titans became the first team to advance to the playoffs by winning the match against Hyderabad. At the same time, hyderabad was eliminated from the play-off round. Also, mumbai Indians and chennai Super Kings, and royal challengers Bangalore have increased chances of making the playoffs.
Former indian captain M.S. Dhoni's chennai Super Kings team is second in the points table with 15 points. chennai Super Kings lost their last match against kolkata Knight Riders, so they need to win the upcoming match against Delhi. If not, the chennai team will have to wait for the other teams depending on the conditions. mumbai Indians have only two more league matches left, and a win in one of them will give them a chance to advance to the playoffs. A win in either would guarantee a place in the playoffs.
Lucknow Supergiants are currently 4th in the points table with 13 points. lucknow has two matches in the league. lucknow will only qualify for the playoffs if they win both matches. If they win a match in this, lucknow will have to depend on other teams. As things stand now, royal challengers Bangalore are in the playoff race. The Bengaluru team has played 12 matches and got 12 points. After that, whether they win the remaining two matches, will depend on the condition and run rate of the other teams.Rajasthan Royals have only got 12 points from 13 matches. Even if they win one of the remaining matches, their situation is doubtful. Thus, almost out of playoff contention. punjab Kings are also with 12 points. They have 2 more matches left and if they win both they are likely to knock on the playoff door. Meanwhile, Sunrisers hyderabad, kolkata Knight Riders, and delhi Capitals have been eliminated from the playoffs.
