TATA IPL 2023: These are the teams that will make it to the play offs..
The league matches in Indian Premier League (TATA IPL 2023) are almost at an end. At the moment, the defending champion Gujarat Titans are in a better position. While some of the remaining teams are in the race, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Delhi Capitals, who are at the bottom, are also determined to enter the race. In this background, let’s take a look at the situation of the ten competing teams.
Gujarat Titans(GT)
Under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya, the Gujarat Titans team has played 11 matches so far and is at the top with 16 points. Almost made it to the playoffs. If they lose the remaining three matches, there is a possibility that the team will fall to the fourth position. However, a win in just one match will ensure the team’s play-offs berth.
Chennai Super Kings(CSK)
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) led by Mahendra Singh Dhoni (MS Dhoni) is also in a better position. After the match against Delhi Capitals (DC), the team climbed to the second position. CSK, who have played 12 matches so far, have won seven and are in second place with 15 points. The team needs one more win to qualify for the playoffs. Against this backdrop, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are determined to clinch the berth by winning the upcoming match.
Mumbai Indians(MI)
The Mumbai Indians under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, who received the trophy five times, started this season very badly. The team that had been falling and getting up after that bounced back tremendously. After their win against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) on Tuesday, the team has 12 points in their account. Mumbai still have three matches to play. If they win the other two, the play offs are guaranteed. However, the team needs to improve the run rate which is in the minuses. If they win in the remaining three matches, the team will reach the top-2.
Lucknow Supergiants(LSG)
Lucknow Super Giants (LSG)’s equations got clarity after Mumbai won the match against Bengaluru. Lucknow is currently in the fourth position with 11 points from 11 matches. The run rate is also good. In order to qualify for the play-offs, they have to win the remaining three matches. Losing even one match will damage the team’s chances. However, depending on the results and net rate of other teams, that team has some chances.
Rajasthan Royals(RR)
Rajasthan Royals (RR) will play their next matches against KKR, RCB and Punjab. If they win all three, the team will not turn away from the play-offs chances. However, if the opponents also lose some matches in this process, no one can stop that team’s chances. Net run rate being in the pluses will also be a plus point for the team.
Kolkata Knight Riders(KKR)
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), who have played 11 matches so far, are at the sixth position with 10 points. However, the run rate is in the minuses. Henceforth that team will have to win every match they play. Net run rate is likely to become crucial even if we win all the matches. However, a play offs berth may not be difficult if they win by huge margins.
Royal Challengers Bangalore(RCB)
If Duplessis’s team also wins in the remaining three matches, the chances of playoffs will be alive. However, Bangalore’s (RCB) run rate is also in the minuses. Play offs chances are also difficult for this team. If they win all the other matches, the team’s score will reach 16 points. However, even then the net run rate becomes crucial. However, the fact that RCB will not be playing their last three matches away from home is a bit of a bummer.
Punjab Kings(PK)
Punjab Kings (PBKS)’s situation is similar to Kolkata Knight Riders. Punjab will be in the play-offs race if they win all their last three matches. Currently the team has 10 points in 11 matches. Net runrate has become a problem for this too. However, the plus point is that two of the last three matches will be played at home.
Sunrisers Hyderabad(SRH)
With 8 points from 10 matches, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) still have four matches left. If they win all the matches, the team’s score will reach 16 points. The run rate problem is also haunting this team. In addition to this, Hyderabad will have to fight hard as the opponents are strong in the other matches.
Delhi Capitals(DC)
Warner-led Delhi Capitals (DC) at the bottom of the points table still have three matches left. Even if they win all the matches, they have to depend on the success of other teams. The team’s play-off chances were severely damaged by the loss to Chennai. If that team makes the playoffs, that would be awesome.
