Today the last league match will be played in IPL 2025, in which royal challengers Bangalore and lucknow Super Giants will clash. RCB has already entered the playoffs, while the lucknow team has already been eliminated from the race for the final. It has been decided that punjab Kings will play the first qualifier match, on the other hand mumbai Indians will have to overcome the challenge of the eliminator match. The last match of the league stage has come, but the complete schedule of the playoffs has not been revealed yet.
If you look at the points table, punjab Kings is currently at the top with 19 points. At the same time, gujarat Titans is in second place with 18 points and all 14 matches of these two teams have been completed. mumbai Indians is in fourth place, which has 16 points and will remain in fourth place. But with the victory of royal challengers Bangalore in today's match, all the equations of the final can change.
Gujarat-Mumbai's difficulty will increase
RCB is the only team in the top-4 which has one match left. If Bengaluru defeats LSG by a big margin today, it will become the table topper, in such a situation RCB will face punjab Kings in the first qualifier. If the first qualifier is held between Bengaluru-Punjab, then the difficulty of gujarat Titans and mumbai Indians will increase.
If RCB reaches the first qualifier, then there will be an eliminator match between gujarat Titans and mumbai Indians. In this situation, only one team from Gujarat-Mumbai will be able to advance. At the same time, the winner of the eliminator match will also have to defeat the team that lost in Qualifier 1 to reach the final. Therefore, gujarat or mumbai will have to register 2 wins to reach the final. It is certain that MI will play the eliminator match, but the gujarat team will be hoping that LSG wins over RCB today at any cost, so that it reaches the first qualifier..jpg)
