IPL 2025 Playoffs : The race for the playoffs of IPL 2025 is heating up as only 15 matches are left in the league stage. Three teams – Chennai Super Kings, Rajasthan Royals, and Sunrisers Hyderabad – have been completely eliminated.
Now, only seven teams are in contention for the top four spots. Royal Challengers Bangalore are currently leading with 16 points, while Mumbai Indians, Punjab Kings, and Gujarat Titans are strong contenders.
In this article, we have explained the IPL 2025 Playoffs chances of all remaining teams in detail. So let’s begin.
1. Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB)
RCB are currently at the top of the points table with 16 points from 11 matches and a net run rate of +0.482. They need just one win from their remaining three matches to confirm a playoff spot. They have a 96.8% chance of qualifying.
With two more wins, they will likely secure a top-two finish. Their powerful batting lineup, especially Virat Kohli’s 552 runs, makes them a favourite for Qualifier 1.
2. Mumbai Indians (MI)
IPL 2025 Playoffs – Mumbai have 14 points from 11 matches with the best net run rate of +0.889. They have a 75% chance of qualifying and need just one more win from their remaining three matches to confirm their spot.
They are on a six-match winning streak, with Rohit Sharma scoring 421 runs and Jasprit Bumrah taking 15 wickets. Their form and momentum make them strong candidates for a top-two finish.
3. Punjab Kings (PBKS)
Punjab are currently in second place with 15 points from 11 matches and a net run rate of +0.177. They have an 88.6% chance of qualification. Just one more win will take them to 17 points, almost securing their playoff spot. Arshdeep Singh’s 14 wickets and Shreyas Iyer’s captaincy have been key contributors to their success.
4. Gujarat Titans (GT)
IPL 2025 Playoffs – Gujarat have 14 points from 11 matches with a net run rate of +0.867 and an 88.8% chance of qualifying. They need two wins from their remaining three matches to be certain of a place in the playoffs. Their balanced performance gives them a strong edge.
5. Delhi Capitals (DC)
IPL 2025 Playoffs – Delhi are at fifth place with 13 points from 12 matches and a net run rate of +0.589. They have a 50% chance of making the playoffs. To qualify, they must win both remaining matches and reach 17 points.
A loss against RCB or Punjab could hurt them badly. KL Rahul’s 467 runs and Kuldeep Yadav’s 12 wickets are keeping their hopes alive.
6. Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR)
KKR have 11 points from 11 matches with a net run rate of +0.249 and just an 11.8% chance of qualification. They must win all their remaining three matches to reach 17 points. Under Ajinkya Rahane’s captaincy, KKR also need other results to go in their favour. Even one more loss will eliminate them.
7. Lucknow Super Giants (LSG)
LSG have 10 points from 11 matches with a net run rate of +0.3 and only a 0.7% chance of making it to the playoffs. They must win all three upcoming matches by big margins, and also hope for multiple upsets in other games. Their qualification is still mathematically possible, but very unlikely.
Final Word on the IPL 2025 Playoffs Battle
With Chennai Super Kings, Rajasthan Royals, and Sunrisers Hyderabad already out, the fight for the IPL 2025 playoffs is between these seven teams. As we approach the final leg of the league stage, net run rate (NRR) will play a crucial role. If multiple teams end up with 16 points, then NRR will decide the top four. Every over and every run will now matter.
