Six Teams Battle for IPL 2024 Playoff Berths with Seven Matches Remaining

With the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 playoffs fast approaching, the race for the top four intensifies with only seven league-stage matches remaining. After the rain-abandoned match between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Gujarat Titans, KKR has secured a top-two finish, while Gujarat, Punjab Kings, and Mumbai Indians have been eliminated.

Six teams remain in contention for the playoffs:

* Kolkata Knight Riders (19 points, 1 match left)

* Rajasthan Royals (18 points, 2 matches left)

* Chennai Super Kings (18 points, 2 matches left)

* Royal Challengers Bangalore (12 points, 1 match left)

* Delhi Capitals (12 points, 1 match left)

* Lucknow Super Giants (12 points, 1 match left)

On Tuesday, Delhi Capitals host Lucknow Super Giants in a crucial match that could significantly impact the playoff race.

If Lucknow Super Giants Win:

* Delhi Capitals will be eliminated from playoff contention.

* Lucknow's chances of qualifying will improve, but they will need to beat Mumbai Indians in their last match and hope that Sunrisers Hyderabad lose both their remaining matches.

If Delhi Capitals Win:

* Delhi will remain in the playoff race, but their hopes will depend on results in other matches.

* They will need Royal Challengers Bangalore and Lucknow Super Giants to lose their remaining matches.

* Sunrisers Hyderabad will also need to lose their last two games with big margins for Delhi to qualify.

The remaining matches will be crucial in determining the final four teams that will advance to the playoffs. With every win and loss, the playoff scenarios continue to change, making the race for the top four an exciting and unpredictable affair.
