If we look at the IPL 2024 Playoffs Scenario, till now only Mumbai Indians are out of the race to reach the top 4 this season. 57 out of 70 league matches have been played till May 8, but it has not been decided yet which teams will be in the top 4. Even now not a single team has been able to get a ticket for the playoffs. In the meantime, know which is your favorite team except MI, which can qualify for the playoffs and what are the chances of that team finishing in the top 4.
1. KKR and RR have a chance to become number one
Kolkata Knight Riders is at number one in the points table of IAPL 2024 this season. KKR team needs to win one match to get the ticket for playoff. The team has achieved 16 points in 11 matches. Rajasthan Royals have also achieved the same number of points in the same number of matches. RR also has to win one of the remaining three matches to book the playoff ticket. However, these two teams have a chance to finish in the top 2, giving them two chances to reach the finals. For this, both the teams will have to win at least two matches.

2. SRH and CSK have power
Sunrisers Hyderabad and Chennai Super Kings also have a chance to qualify for the playoffs. SRH has to win one more match, while CSK has to win at least two of the remaining three matches. SRH has 14 points in its account, while CSK has 12 points in its account. However, CSK has played 11 matches. CSK and SRH also have a chance to finish in the top 2, but according to mathematics, the chances of this appear to be 5 percent. CSK's chances of finishing in the top 2 are 4 percent.
3. Delhi and Lucknow also in the race
Delhi Capitals and Lucknow Super Giants may also not have given up hope of reaching the playoffs, because these teams still have a chance to make it to the playoffs by scoring 16 points. However, this season it is also possible that the team with 16 points may not get the playoff ticket, because two teams have already secured 16 points. Delhi team cannot reach the top because the scenario itself is getting stuck in this situation. However, the chances of finishing at number 2 are less than 4 percent. Same thing happens with LSG also.
4. Clash between RCB and Punjab
The teams of Royal Challengers Bangalore and Punjab Kings can reach a maximum of 14 points. There is a match between these two teams on 9th May. Whichever of the two teams loses, it will be out of the race for the playoffs and will be considered eliminated, because 12 points are not cutting the ticket for the playoffs this season.
5. MI out and Gujarat relying on luck
Mumbai Indians are out of the race for IPL 2024 playoffs and Gujarat Titans are also on the same path. Gujarat has won 4 out of 11 matches. As soon as Gujarat loses a match, it will be completely out of the playoff race, but as long as the team does not lose, it will depend on luck.
