Mumbai Indians (44.9%), Sunrisers Hyderabad (38.44%), and Gujarat Titans (37.32%) are placed in the middle of the table for Who Will Win IPL 2024, Early Playoffs Predictions, due to the inconsistency in their performances. SRH and MI have displayed poor bowling performances in all three matches they have played. Gujarat Titans’ batting prowess has declined since Hardik’s departure, so their batting is inconsistent.
Punjab Kings were looking like a solid bowling powerhouse before the start of the season, but after three matches, their bowling has disappointed the most, and Punjab also has poor finishing prowess in the batting lineup. Now, Punjab Kings have a title win chance of just 35.00%.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru with 31.33% suggest their fans wait one more year to see their team lift the IPL trophy. RCB are again struggling with poor bowling performances and an out-of-form batting lineup. RCB has conceded more than 700 runs in just four matches and are just behind Delhi Capitals.
Delhi Capitals have the least chance of 29% to lift the IPL 2024 title because of poor bowling and inconsistent batting display. Delhi Capitals’ fielding has been below average, which has cost them a lot in the first four matches.
Conclusion:
As per the experts’ Early Playoffs Predictions, Rajasthan Royals, Chennai Super Kings, Kolkata Knight Riders, and Lucknow Super Giants will probably be the four teams to qualify for the playoffs in IPL 2024. Mumbai Indians have the best squad on paper but have not performed up to par and still have a good chance of qualifying into the top four. Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bengaluru have the least chances to win IPL 2024.
