IPL 2024: Mumbai Indians Eliminated

Mumbai Indians (MI) currently sit 9th in the table with 8 points in 12 matches but they are eliminated of the IPL 2024 as SRH secured a victory over LSG. The Paltans can reach 12 points at max, which won't be enough for the qualification.

IPL 2024 RCB Playoff Qualification Scenario

Royal Challengers Bengaluru are still contenders for a playoff spot despite being in a precarious position. RCB took a gigantic leap in the points table after a win against Gujarat Titans in their last match and now sit 7th with 8 points to their name.

RCB need to win three matches to have a realistic chance of playoff qualification as that will take them to 14 points. 12 points can also take a team to playoffs but a lot of things will have to fall in place for that.

IPL 2024 KKR Playoff Qualification Scenario

Kolkata Knight Riders secured a huge victory over LSG and that has taken them to the top of the table. The win meant KKR now has 8 wins in 11 matches and are on top of the table.

They will get closer to the Top Two spots if they win their next two matches. And for now, we can't safely say that Knight Riders have qualified for the playoffs, but they are close to the elusive qualification status, especially with their excellent Net Run Rate.

IPL 2024 RR Qualification Scenario

Rajasthan Royals suffered a defeat at the hands of Delhi Capitals to further intensify the playoff race. RR still appears to be in a relatively comfortable position with 16 points from 11 games but their situation is not entirely secure. Behind the Royals, there are teams queueing up though as four teams are sitting on 12 points.

IPL 2024 CSK Qualification Scenario

Chennai Super Kings have 12 points in 11 matches. Their win over PBKS is a major boost as Ruturaj Gaikwad's men will have to win one of their next three matches for a qualification chance.

CSK's next two matches are against GT and RCB, while they will also play Rajasthan Royals in between these three. If CSK win against GT; KKR and LSG lose their next two, then the Super Kings will hold a certain advantage in the race.

IPL 2024 LSG Qualification Scenario

Lucknow Super Giants have 12 points in 12 matches. The defeat against SRH means their playoff hopes are in jeopardy. KL Rahul and his team will have to win their next two matches and will need either CSK or SRH to slip to have a chance for qualification.

IPL 2024 SRH Qualification Scenario

Sunrisers Hyderabad have 14 points in 12 matches and the win over LSG has taken them to the 3rd spot in the table. They have also boosted the NRR with the victory.

SRH's next match against Gujarat Titans is of paramount importance and a win can almost stamp their qualification assurance.

IPL 2024 PBKS Qualification Scenario

Punjab Kings are on 8 points in 11 matches. The realistic equation says they will have to win all of their final three group-stage matches to ensure qualification.

For PBKS, the defeat against CSK is a massive blow. Their next three matches are against RCB, RR and SRH respectively. If the Kings win all of the three matches, that won't even guarantee their chances for the playoffs.

IPL 2024 GT Qualification Scenario

GT lost their last match against RCB and now are in must-win territory. They have Kolkata Knight Riders up next and will have to win all of their last three matches to have a chance at the playoffs.

Also, to qualify, the Titans will need CSK to lose their remaining matches and Delhi Capitals to lose their matches as well.

IPL 2024 DC Qualification Scenario

With 12 points in 12 matches, Delhi Capitals are still in the hunt. They have a chance now to give a crack at the playoff race. The Capitals only have two more matches and they will have to win both of them.

They have matches against RCB and LSG. Even if the Capitals win both of their matches, their qualification is not guaranteed as SRH beat LSG and the Hyderabad outfit have the destiny in their own hands now.
