IPL Playoffs: Mumbai Indians, captained by Hardik Pandya, has won another match. The team has won a total of 3 matches so far. But the game has also lasted seven matches. Now all the teams have played six to seven matches, so it can be assumed that this IPL season is now reaching its halfway stage. Meanwhile, the race for the playoffs is also getting stronger. The teams sitting at the top are ahead, but their seats are not confirmed yet, while the teams running at the bottom of the points table are hopeful that they will perform better in the upcoming matches and secure their place in the top 4.
Rajasthan team table topper
At present, Rajasthan Royals team seems to be the safest in the IPL points table. The team has won 6 out of seven matches and secured 12 points and is stuck at the number one position. At the second place is KKR, which has won 4 out of 6 matches and has eight points. CSK has also won 4 out of 6 matches and has eight points. Whereas SRH team has secured its place at number by winning 4 out of 6 matches. These four teams have more chances of going to the playoffs. Although their seats are not confirmed yet, they will have to win further matches also.
Four teams have equal 6 points
At present there is a traffic jam in the middle of the points table. Just as there are a total of three teams taking eight points, in the same way there are four teams taking 6 points. LSG, Delhi Capitals, Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Titans have taken 6 points by winning three matches each. If there is some change in this after the coming matches, then it is not a big deal. However, among the four taking six points, LSG is still in advantage as it has played only 6 matches so far, while the other teams have played 7 matches each.
To go to the playoffs, you will have to win at least 8 matches.
Now if we talk about the playoff possibilities, any team will need at least 16 points to finish the league stage in the top 4. Provided that the points of most teams do not exceed 14. In such a situation, Rajasthan Royals need to win only two more matches. Whereas KKR, CSK and SRH will have to win at least four more matches from here. The four teams which have 6 points. The path is a bit difficult for them. Because they will have to win 5 out of the remaining seven matches.
The path of Punjab Kings and ACB is difficult
If we talk about Punjab Kings and RCB, then Punjab has four points and RCB has only two points. Although these teams are not officially out of the playoff race, but if these teams lose one more match from here then the story should be considered over. But if there is a major upheaval then it is a different matter. Within the coming one week, the picture will become more clear.
