IPL 2025 Qualification Scenario For RCB, PBKS, MI, GT, DC, KKR, LSG, RR, SRH, CSK - How Can 8 Teams Qualify For Playoffs - In Pics
The IPL 2025 playoff race is heating up with eight teams still in contention. RCB and PBKS are closest to sealing qualification, while MI and GT hold an edge due to strong net run rates. DC must win three of their last four and hope for favourable results. LSG, KKR, and SRH need to win all remaining matches and rely on other outcomes, with SRH facing near-impossible odds. CSK and RR are officially eliminated. With 18 points likely being the safe cut-off, the battle for the top four will be decided by fine margins, especially net run rate.

Qualification chance: 35%
DC have 12 points from 10 games. They need three wins to reach 18 and must hope MI or GT don’t also end up on 18, given DC’s lower NRR (+0.362).
6. LSG’s Only Route Is Winning All Remaining Games

Qualification chance: 20%

SRH (8 pts from 11 games) must win all remaining fixtures and rely on multiple teams losing. With a poor NRR of -1.192, even 14 points may not be enough.
