IPL 2024 Playoffs Scenario: The equations of the playoffs in IPL 2024 seem to be changing once again. The victory of Lucknow Super Giants over Chennai Super Kings has brought about a lot of changes in the points table. The plight of the teams which are currently on the decline has also increased. This is the first time in this year’s Indian Premier League that CSK has fallen out of the top 4, while LSG has taken another step towards the playoffs. Now it is expected that some more big changes may be seen in the coming days.
LSG takes lead over CSK
The match played between Chennai Super Kings and Lucknow Super Giants was very important. Before this match, both the teams had played 7 matches. Also, after winning four matches, the teams were standing on eight points. It was already decided that whichever team wins, it will get closer to the playoffs, while the problems may increase for the losing team. So did happen. LSG has secured 10 points by winning their match, while CSK team still has only 8 points. Now LJC has reached fourth position and CSK has reached fifth position.
Rajasthan Royal team on top
Rajasthan Royals team is leading in the points table and has won 7 out of eight matches. The team has 14 points. No other team is close to him. Now there are 3 teams with ten points each. KKR, SRH and LSG have 10 points each. However, the problem for LSG is that KKR and SRH have played only 7 matches so far, whereas LSG has now played 8 matches.
Important match between GT and DC today
Chennai Super Kings and Gujarat Titans now have equal points. Both have played their 8 matches and have eight points after winning four matches. But GT’s net run rate is very bad, hence CSK is ahead of it. Today an important contest is between Delhi and Gujarat. If GT’s team is successful in registering victory today, then GT can go ahead of CSK by taking 10 points. If Delhi team is successful in winning today then it will be at par with GT and CSK by taking 8 points. Now the importance of every match has increased. One match will be enough to take them closer and away from the playoffs.
