IPL 2025 points table News

As the league stage of IPL 2025 nears its end, the race for the top two playoff spots is heating up. With a tight points table, four teams Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), Mumbai Indians (MI), Punjab Kings (PBKS), and Gujarat Titans (GT) are still mathematically in the race to finish in the top two, though their paths vary in complexity. Scroll down to know top 2 qualification scenarios for all 4 teams. 

The race for the Top 2 continues between Gujarat Titans, Punjab Kings, Royal Challengers Bengaluru & Mumbai Indians. Here's how each team can reach the top 2 of IPL 2025. 

Royal Challengers Benagluru lost the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad last night but there are still chances that they can finish in top 2, here’s how.   

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.  

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) suffered a six-wicket defeat to Rajasthan Royals (RR), placing them last in the IPL 2025 points table with just 6 points and a -1.030 NRR. RR’s 14-year-old prodigy Vaibhav Suryavanshi starred with a brilliant 57, while Sanju Samson anchored the chase. Despite explosive knocks from Ayush Mhatre, Dewald Brevis, and Shivam Dube, CSK’s middle-order collapse continued. MS Dhoni’s slow 16 couldn’t provide a strong finish. With one game left against Gujarat Titans, CSK must win big to avoid their first-ever last-place finish in IPL history, while RR slightly improve their chances of avoiding the bottom spot.

As the league stage of IPL 2025 enters its final stretch, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) find themselves on the cusp of a playoff berth but their qualification isn’t sealed just yet. While Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have officially been eliminated, RCB must still navigate a complex web of scenarios to confirm their top-four finish. Currently sitting on 17 points, RCB would typically be considered safe. However, in an unpredictable IPL season disrupted by a mid-tournament break and several nail-biters, nothing is guaranteed until the final league game is played.

Rain has once again disrupted the IPL 2025 season, with the highly anticipated clash between Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) ending in a washout. No ball was bowled due to persistent showers at the venue, and both teams were forced to share a point each. This result has had a direct impact on the updated IPL 2025 points table, as KKR now stand eliminated from the race to the playoffs, while RCB have topped the table with 17 points.

The IPL 2025 resumes after a brief suspension, RCB vs KKR to start after resumption but rain can spoil the showdown.   

As the IPL 2025 season resumes following a suspension due to India-Pakistan cross-border tensions, cricket legends Sunil Gavaskar and Suresh Raina shared their insights on the tournament's restart.  

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are in a tough spot after their loss to Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in IPL 2025, with 11 points from 12 matches. To qualify for the playoffs, KKR must win their remaining two games against SRH and RCB. However, even two wins may not guarantee a spot, as they can only reach a maximum of 15 points, and their net run rate is lower than teams above them. KKR needs Mumbai Indians (MI), Delhi Capitals (DC), and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) to lose, and must rely on favorable net run rates to advance.
