IPL 2024 Playoffs: Mumbai Indians can still play playoffs, RCB’s hopes remain intact, know the complete equation

New Delhi. 50 matches of IPL 2024 have been completed, but it is still not certain for any team to play the playoffs. Such a guarantee cannot be given right now about Rajasthan Royals (16), who are on top in the points table. On the other hand, in the points table, the ninth and 10th placed teams Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bangalore can also reach 14 points. Can reach the playoffs, not just 14 points. Let us know how.

In the IPL points table, Rajasthan Royals are currently at the first position with 16 points after winning 8 matches. After that, Kolkata Knight Riders, Lucknow Supergiants and Sunrisers Hyderabad are at second, third and fourth position respectively with 12 points each. After this, Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Capitals have 10-10 points. Punjab Kings and Gujarat Titans have 8-8 points. After all these are the teams of Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bangalore, who have 6-6 points.

Now 20 league matches are left in the tournament. If Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders win all their matches, then both will make it to the playoffs by scoring 20 or more points. After this, if the teams of Lucknow and Hyderabad lose all their matches (except the one in which both of them are competing), then either Lucknow or Hyderabad will have 14 points, due to which they will remain in the race for the playoffs.

If all this happens and either Lucknow Supergiants or Sunrisers Hyderabad has 14 points, then the way for Mumbai Indians and Royals Challengers Bangalore can also open. But for this Mumbai Indians and RCB will have to win all their matches. If these teams win all their matches then they will have 14 points.

If Mumbai loses to KKR then…
Even if Mumbai Indians loses to Kolkata Knight Riders, its chances of being in the top-4 will remain. But for this, all the same equations mentioned above will be applicable. If this happens, 7 teams including Mumbai Indians will have equal 12 points and the team with better run rate will go to the playoffs. This is the equation for RCB.
