<\/p>\n

The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023<\/strong> playoffs are almost confirmed as three teams \u2013 Gujarat Titans (GT), Chennai Super Kings (CSK)<\/a> and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG)<\/strong> \u2013 have booked their spots. The fourth team is still undecided as Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), Mumbai Indians (MI)<\/strong>\u00a0and Rajasthan Royals (RR)<\/strong> are in the contention.<\/p>\n

Notably, RCB and MI have the brightest opportunity to secure the final birth while the Royals would need both RCB and MI to lose their matches in a specific way to go to the next round. On that note, let\u2019s have a look at the qualification scenarios for RCB, MI and RR:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Royal Challengers Bangalore<\/strong><\/p>\n


Among the three teams, RCB has the most favourable position to advance to the next round. A win against Gujarat would be sufficient for them to qualify, unless MI\u2019s winning margin over Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH)<\/strong> is significant enough to surpass RCB\u2019s Net Run Rate (NRR).<\/p>\n

The Challengers currently have an NRR of +0.180, while Mumbai have -0.128. Since RCB would be playing the final league match, they will have the benefit of knowing the required outcome against GT to secure qualification.<\/p>\n

Mumbai Indians<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In case RCB face a defeat against GT and MI manage to beat SRH, the Rohit Sharma-led side would secure qualification in the playoffs. But, if both RCB and MI win their respective matches, then the NRR would come into play.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

For MI to surpass RCB\u2019s current NRR, they would need to defeat SRH by a significant margin. Even in such a scenario, the situation would change if RCB achieve a victory against GT by a margin that allows them to overtake MI on NRR.<\/p>\n

Rajasthan Royals<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Although the Royals are mathematically still in contention, they do not have control over their fate. In order to qualify for the playoffs, both RCB and MI must lose their respective fixtures. Currently, the Sanju Samson-led Rajasthan have 14 points. If both RCB and MI face defeats, there will be three teams with 14 points each.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
