The IPL 2024, which started on 22nd March with a high-octane match CSK vs RCB at Chepauk Stadium, is almost half-done. RR, KKR, CSK, and LSG are the top four qualifier prospects in the IPL 2024 Points table updated after LSG vs DC.
On Friday, Delhi Capitals recorded their second win and defeated the host Lucknow Super Giants in their home Ekana Cricket Stadium. It is going to be hard for DC to qualify for the IPL 2024 Playoffs as they have played six IPL matches with four losses and two wins. The only way to make it to the Playoffs is for Rishabh Pant and his team to win the remaining six matches to earn 12 points.
So what is the situation of the other IPL franchises? Let’s start with Fan-favorite Royal Challengers Bengaluru who lost their 4th consecutive match against Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium.
According to the Business Standard’s post of IPL 2024 Playoffs predictions, “the RCB fans have to wait for one more year to see their men’s team lift the trophy.”
From the sources of the Crystal Ball prediction, RCB (31.1) and DC (28) have the lowest chances of qualifying in the IPL 17 season. Currently, RCB is in the 10th position with 2 points and they have to win their remaining 6 matches to score 14 points. Even if they win all remaining matches, Faf du Plessis and his squad are still in a tough spot. This year for RCB, IPL 2024 Playoffs is going to be a tough road to cross.
Meanwhile, Rajasthan Royals has 54.8% of the highest chances of playing in the IPL 2024 qualifier round. Chennai Super Kings (48.9), Kolkata Knight Rider (46.4), and Mumbai Indians (44.6) have the best chances of finishing in the top 4 of the IPL 2024 points table.
Speaking of, five-time champion Mumbai Indians have clinched their second victory in the IPL 2024 against Royal Challengers Bengaluru at Wankhede Stadium. Mumbai Indians have to win 5 IPL matches from the remaining 8 matches to qualify for the 2024 Playoffs. With only 4 points MI has already climbed up to the 7th position in the IPL 2024 Points standings.
So these are the IPL 2024 Playoff predictions and qualification scenarios for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Delhi Capitals, and Mumbai Indians for the IPL 17 season. However, it is highly impossible to predict the exact future. We will see which team will make it to the finale as the tournament progresses further.
