IPL 2025 playoff race latest news

Mumbai Indians' (MI) hopes of qualifying for the IPL 2025 playoffs remain alive despite a narrow loss to Gujarat Titans. Currently at 14 points from 12 matches, MI must win their final two league games—against Punjab Kings (May 11) and Delhi Capitals (May 15)—to secure a top-four spot. A single loss will leave them dependent on other results, while two losses will eliminate them. A top-two finish is possible if they win both matches by big margins and only one team surpasses 18 points. Hardik Pandya’s leadership and team performance will be crucial in this high-stakes playoff race.

As IPL 2025 nears its climax, the playoff race intensifies with teams like RCB, MI, GT, and DC in strong positions, while CSK has been officially eliminated. KKR, PBKS, LSG, and RR remain in contention but need key wins and favorable net run rates. SRH and RR face near-impossible paths, requiring dominant performances and other results to go their way. CSK's poor form and NRR ruled them out despite four games left. With just weeks remaining, every match now holds massive playoff implications. Fans can expect high-stakes clashes as teams fight for a top-four spot in IPL 2025.
