The Indian Premier League (IPL 2025) is now in its final stages and the playoff race has reached a very exciting turn. Every team ahead is going to prove decisive for every team. Some teams have almost confirmed the place in the playoffs, while the situation remains very delicate for some legendary teams.
IPL 2025: Just one win away from RCB playoffs
Royal Challengers Bangalore have performed tremendously this season under the captaincy of Rajat Patidar. The team remains at the top in the points table with 14 points by winning 7 out of 10 matches. Bengaluru needs to win just one of the remaining 4 matches to confirm the place in the playoffs.
IPL 2025: LSG, Mi and DC also in strong position
Lucknow Super Giants have won 6 out of 8 matches so far and are second with 12 points. The team will have to win two out of the next four matches to qualify for the playoffs.
Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals also have 12-12 points. Mumbai have won 6 out of 10 matches and captain Hardik Pandya’s team needs two more winning in the remaining four matches. At the same time, Delhi has won 6 out of 9 matches, and it needs to win only two out of 4 matches for the playoffs.
IPL 2025: Every match for other teams ‘do or die’
After the top 4 teams, the path of the rest of the teams is difficult. Punjab Kings will have to win at least 3 out of the remaining 3 matches to reach the playoffs. Lucknow Super Giants also have the same situation – three out of the next four wins are necessary.
The status of Kolkata Knight Riders is even more challenging. KKR will have to win their 4 remaining matches to maintain the playoff hopes.
IPL 2025: SRH, CSK and RR waiting for miracles
Sunrisers Hyderabad’s condition is like ‘do or die’. The team still has 5 matches left and if it loses one of these, it will be out of the playoff race. That is, SRH will have to win all the remaining matches.
Big teams like Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings are currently in a very poor condition. Both have registered only 2-2 wins in 9 matches and have just 4 points in their account. Even though these two teams win their remaining 5 matches, but still they have to depend on other results to stay in the playoff race. Clearly, their hopes are now on a miracle.
