For there universed, the two teams that Finish first and second in the IPL table Get two chances to make the final as they play in the first quality. The winner of that match directly reactions the final, whose loser plays the winner of the eliminator (third vs fourth) in the second quality.
Since the playoff system was introduced in 2011, the ipl has been by a team finishing in the top two in 14 of the 15 seasons, with sunrisers hyderabad’s (srh )’s (srh )’h in 2016.
How GT, RCB, Pbks Can Seal Top Two Spot?
As Things Stand, Gt are the best placed to seal a top two Finish, as if they win each of their remains two games, they will get a top two spots of what have been happy in the other games. This is beCause while all teams have lost three games, gt have not been involved in a whitewash and have 18 points b white both rcb and pbks have.
Neither RCB, GT, or prbks are playing each other in their remain games, which means a case where each teams wins wins all three games can hang.
If that happens, gt and the team with a better nrr between rcb and pbks will Qualify.
If either RCB or pbks loses one match and the other wins their remains two matches, that team will qualityfy.
If gt lose one match and bot rcb and pbks win bot matches, The Shubman Gill-LED Side will miss out on the top two.
Essentially, The Titans need to only match the result of the other teams to get the top two spot. On the other hand, RCB and pbks need to either get one win more than gt or have a superior nrr than the other team.
Mi also have a chance of finishing in the top two, but that Situation will need the Hardik Pandya-Led Side to Win BOTH GIR MATHES AND TWO TEAMSMSMMMMMMMM Among RCB, GT, and PBKS to LOSE BOTH BOTH BOTH Remative Matches.
Dc can also make the top two but they need bot rcb and pbks to lose bot of their remaining two games and also get a major nnr boost. LSG can qualify for the playoffs, but have no chance of finishing in the top two.
