6 Teams For 3 Spots: Complete IPL 2024 Playoffs Scenario Explained
NDTV
With just seven games remaining in the league stage of IPL 2024, as many as six teams are still in contention to secure the remaining three spots for the playoffs.
The race for the Indian Premier League, (IPL) 2024, playoffs qualification has intensified with the marquee T20 tournament heading towards its business end. With just seven games remaining in the league stage of IPL 2024, the two-time winners Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) became the first team to qualify for the playoffs this season. On the other hand, Mumbai Indians (MI), Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Gujarat Titans (GT) have already been eliminated from the playoffs race after their dismal campaigns in the ongoing edition.
Meanwhile, five other teams are still in contention to secure the remaining three spots for the IPL 2024 playoffs.
On that note, we take a look at the scenarios with which all the teams remaining for IPL 2024 playoffs contention can still qualify.
Rajasthan Royals
Despite losing their last three matches, Rajasthan Royals (RR) are the overwhelming favourites for a top-two finish in the IPL 2024 league stage. With 16 points from 12 games, the Royals are placed second in the standings with a net run-rate of +0.349. The Sanju Samson-led Royals are still scheduled to face Punjab Kings (May 15) and Kolkata Knight Riders (May 19). They need to win at least one of their remaining games to qualify for playoffs. If the Royals win both matches, they will finish in the top two. However, if RR suffer defeat in both games, they are still expected to qualify due to a better NRR.
