IPL 2025 points table prediction News

Gujarat Titans (GT) lost to Lucknow Super Giants, complicating their chances of finishing in the IPL 2025 top two. Currently with 18 points from 13 matches, GT must win their final game against Chennai Super Kings to keep hopes alive. However, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Punjab Kings (PBKS), both on 17 points with games in hand, can surpass GT by winning their remaining matches. For GT to secure a top-two spot and the Qualifier 1 advantage, they need at least one slip-up from either RCB or PBKS. GT’s fate is in their hands but depends heavily on other results.  

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) are struggling in IPL 2025, sitting 9th on the points table with just two wins in seven matches and a poor Net Run Rate of -1.217. Their playoff hopes remain alive but require a near-perfect run, needing at least five wins from their remaining seven games. Winning six would almost guarantee qualification, while winning all seven could even secure a top-two finish. Any more than three losses will end their chances. SRH faces tough upcoming fixtures, and their star players must step up. Owner Kavya Maran remains a passionate presence, symbolizing fans’ hope for a late comeback.
