They need wins in their remaining two matches (against Delhi Capitals and Chennai Super Kings) to have an outside chance. Additionally, favorable results for RCB would include CSK losing all three remaining matches and LSG losing to MI.KKR Nearing Qualification: KKR's dominant win over LSG solidified their position at the top of the table. With eight wins in 11 matches, they are well-positioned. While not mathematically qualified yet, their excellent net run rate puts them close to securing a playoff spot.RR in Comfortable, Yet Uncertain, Position: Rajasthan Royals, despite a recent loss to Delhi Capitals, are still in a relatively good position with 16 points from 11 games. However, their situation isn't entirely secure with several teams chasing them on the table – four teams are tied at 12 points.CSK Needs Wins to Stay Alive: Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have 12 points from 11 matches. Their victory over PBKS was a crucial boost. To maintain their playoff hopes, they need to win at least one of their remaining three matches (against Gujarat Titans, RCB, and Rajasthan Royals). Favorable scenarios for CSK include them winning against GT and both KKR and LSG losing their next two matches.LSG Needs Wins and Help: Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) are in a precarious position after losing to SRH. Their playoff hopes depend on winning their remaining two matches and needing either CSK or SRH to falter.SRH Well-Positioned for Playoffs: Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) are firmly in the playoff race with 14 points from 12 matches. Their win over LSG propelled them to third place and boosted their net run rate. A win against Gujarat Titans in their next match would almost guarantee their qualification.GT Needs a Miracle: Gujarat Titans (GT) lost their last match against RCB and now face a "must-win" situation in all three remaining matches. Even then, qualification requires both CSK and Delhi Capitals to lose their remaining matches.Delhi Capitals' Narrow Path: Delhi Capitals (DC) are still in the hunt with 12 points from 12 matches. They need victories in their remaining two games (against RCB and LSG) to have a chance. However, even with two wins, qualification isn't guaranteed as SRH holds the upper hand after defeating LSG.
