IPL Playoff Qualification Possibility: Through RCB All but, DC, LSG and KKR in dangerous condition

So far, almost all teams have played 10 matches in IPL 2025, and it can be said that at least two of them – RCB and GT are almost through. Of course, after heavy losses to PBK on Wednesday, MS Dhoni’s CSK is out, and the possibilities for KKR and SRH also look foggy. More than the scenarios, anyone needs to see a %age, each team must make it in the next round.

Analysis of all IPL teams

RCB

Current status: 10 matches, 14 points, NRR +0.521, 4 matches left

The team is in an excellent position to finish at the top of the table, guarantee of merit, as they need a win in four matches to reach a 16-point mark.

PBKS

Current status: 10 matches, 13 points, NRR +0.199, 4 matches left.

Remaining matches: LSG (Home), DC (Home), Mi (Home), RR (Away)

Mi

Current status: 10 matches, 12 points, NRR +0.889, 4 matches left.

MI requires 2 wins for 16 points, a safe cutoff, his high NRR gave him an advantage in relationships. The 3 win takes them up to 18 points, ensuring the top -2 location.

Remaining matches: RR (distance), GT (home), PBK (distance), DC (Home)

GT

Current status: 9 matches, 12 points, NRR +0.748, 5 matches left.

GT has an additional match, requiring 2 wins for 16 points, possibly qualifications. 3 wins take them to 18 points, ensuring tiebreaker advantages with their strong NRRs.

Remaining matches: SRH (home), mi (distance), dc (distance), lsg (house), csk (house)

DC

Current status: 10 matches, 12 points, NRR +0.362, 4 matches left.

DC requires 2 wins for 16 points, but their NRR is less than Mi and GT, so they may require 3 wins for 18 digits to stay safe in relationships.

Remaining matches: SRH (distance), pbks (distance), gt (house), mi (far)

Agitation

Current status: 10 matches, 10 points, NRR -0.325, 4 matches left.

LSG requires 3 wins for 16 points, which is required for the playoffs. 2 wins give 14 points, but their negative NRR makes the qualifications risky until other teams stagger.

K.K.R

Current status: 10 matches, 9 points, NRR +0.271, 4 matches left.

RR

Current status: 10 matches, 6 points, NRR -0.349, 4 matches left.

Remaining matches: Mi (Ghar), KKR (Ale), CSK (Ale), PBK (Home)

SRH

Current status: 9 matches, 6 points, NRR -1.103, 5 matches left.

SRH requires 4-5 wins for 14–16 points, looking at their poor NRR in a near-untreated task. He has an additional match of his sleeve, but then he should be considered all, but was denied.

Major matches: GT (distance), DC (home), KKR (Home), RCB (distance), LSG (far)

Chennai Super Kings

Current status: 10 matches, 4 points, NRR -1.211, 4 matches left.
