After the GT vs RCB CSK match, the fight for the playoff spot in the mid-table scrum has intensified, with CSK losing their advantage over DC and LSG. At the same time, the Gujarat Titans rose from the 10th position to 8th courtesy of their win in Ahmedabad, keeping their slender playoff chance alive.
Two teams – Punjab Kings and Mumbai Indians – are already eliminated from the playoff race, and now all teams are left with 2 league matches each, barring the top two teams – RR and KKR – it is now a level playing field for the other six teams vying for the 3rd and 4th playoff spot.
Here's a look at what the teams need to do to make the IPL 2024 playoffs.
Kolkata Knight Riders: KKR are top of the IPL 2024 points table with 16 points.
Remaining matches
KKR vs MI
GT vs KKR
RR vs KKR
KKR face down and out Mi today, and a win will ensure qualification for the playoffs. One win from their last three games will help them reach 18 points, securing their spot in the playoffs, as only three other teams (RR, CSK, SRH, or LSG) can get 18 points. More importantly, they will look to win against RR in their final league match as RR right now are placed second equal on points, and KKR would hope to end higher than RR in the points table to secure a top-two finish.
