Who will qualify for IPL 2025 playoffs News

Mumbai Indians have sealed a spot in the IPL 2025 playoffs but are still in the race for a top-two finish, which would give them two chances to reach the final. To achieve this, MI must beat Punjab Kings convincingly, hope RCB and Gujarat Titans lose key matches, and rely on their superior Net Run Rate. Their final game against PBKS on May 26 is crucial. Despite their top-two chances being just 4.6%, MI’s recent form, led by Suryakumar Yadav and Jasprit Bumrah, offers hope. The road is tough, but not impossible for the five-time champions.

Gujarat Titans’ dominant win over Delhi Capitals confirmed their place in the IPL 2025 playoffs and simplified the qualification scenario. With GT, RCB, and PBKS securing spots, only one playoff berth remains. RCB continued their consistent run, while PBKS ended an 11-year playoff drought. Delhi Capitals now face an uphill task, needing two wins and favourable results. Mumbai Indians, with the best net run rate, are in a strong position to grab the final spot. LSG's chances are slim due to poor NRR. The MI vs DC clash on May 21 could be the virtual knockout for the last playoff place.  

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) can still qualify for the IPL 2025 playoffs but must win all three of their remaining matches to reach 16 points. Their poor net run rate (-0.469) poses a major hurdle, requiring big-margin victories. Upcoming games against RCB, GT, and SRH are tough, and mid-table competition is fierce with several teams already above 12 points. LSG’s inconsistent batting and underwhelming bowling have hurt their campaign. While mathematical chances exist, their qualification will depend on both performance and other match results. In short, LSG’s playoff hopes are alive—but hanging by a thread.

Mumbai Indians surged to the top of the IPL 2025 points table after a dominant 100-run win over Rajasthan Royals, marking their sixth consecutive victory and securing 14 points with the best net run rate (+1.274). Rajasthan Royals, with only 3 wins in 11 games, became the second team to be eliminated. RCB and PBKS closely follow MI, while Gujarat Titans and Delhi Capitals remain strong playoff contenders. Lucknow, KKR, and SRH are still in the race but face increasing pressure. Chennai Super Kings have officially exited the tournament, managing just 2 wins in 10 matches, marking a disappointing campaign.

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.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru climbed to the top of the IPL 2025 Points Table after defeating Delhi Capitals, taking their tally to 14 points from 10 matches.

Kolkata Knight Riders, Sunrisers Hyderabad, Rajasthan Royals, and Chennai Super Kings face uphill battles, with RR and CSK almost out of playoff contention.
