IPL 2024 Points Table and Playoffs scenario: As the IPL 2024 caravan progresses, the race for the playoffs is becoming even more interesting. So far 38 matches have been played this season, but neither has any team confirmed its place in the playoffs nor has any team been out of this race. But it is certain that if we look at the current points table, it is clear that three teams are standing very close to it, while for two the story is almost over. But the possibilities are still alive.
16 points will be needed to go to playoff
To go to the IPL playoffs, any team will need at least 16 points. That means the team will be required to win eight matches. By defeating Mumbai Indians, Rajasthan Royals have registered their seventh win in eight matches. He has 14 points. This means that Rajasthan will now need to win only one more match, while it has 6 matches left.
KKR and SRH also likely to go to playoffs
Apart from Rajasthan Royals, KKR and Sunrisers Hyderabad also seem very close to the playoffs. Both teams have played seven matches and won 5 of them. That means he currently has 10 points. There are still 7 matches left for both the teams, out of which if these teams win even three then the job will be done. But we are going to see a tough and big fight for number four. Three teams are standing ready with eight points.
Eight points for CSK, LSG and GT
CSK is currently at number 4 in the points table. The team has won four out of seven matches and has eight points. LSG has also managed to win four out of seven matches, and also has 8 points. Gujarat Titans team has played 8 matches so far and has won only 4, which means it also has 8 points. These three teams have equal 8 points. The only difference is that CSK and KKR have seven matches left, whereas GT has only six matches left.
The road is now very difficult for Mumbai and Delhi
Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals are in the same boat. Both the teams have played 8 matches and won only 3 of them and have 6 points. Although their chances of going to the playoffs are not over, but now the path is much more difficult. Whereas the condition of Punjab and RCB is very bad. Punjab has won two out of eight matches and has four points. RCB has registered only one win out of 8 and has two points. The doors are still open for Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals, but the story of Punjab and Bengaluru should be considered almost over. But till now they have not been eliminated from the race from the playoffs. Punjab team can get 16 points by winning all its matches from here, but even if RCB wins all the matches from here, the total would be only 14 points, which might not be enough to go to the playoffs this time. Within the next three to four days, the picture will become more clear, after that some team will enter the playoffs and some will also be out.
