IPL 2023: Indian Premier League The playoff race has become more exciting after the match between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals played on Wednesday in the 16th season of IPL. The Delhi Capitals team may have been out of the playoff race, but it has raised the concerns of other teams. The biggest threat from the performance of Delhi Capitals is hovering over Chennai Super Kings.
On May 20, Chennai Super Kings will clash with Delhi Capitals. At present, Chennai Super Kings remain at the second position in the table with 15 points in 13 matches. But the playoff spot of CSK has not been confirmed yet. However, if CSK wins against Delhi, then its playoff ticket can be considered confirmed.
But in the event of a defeat against Delhi, CSK’s journey can end in the group stage itself. If Delhi manages to defeat CSK, then Lucknow Super Giants, Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bangalore will directly benefit. These three teams are firmly in the playoff race.
RCB and Mumbai Indians also in the race
Lucknow Super Giants are currently in third place with 15 points. In the event of winning the last match, Lucknow will get second place in the points table and its playoff spot will be confirmed. Even if Lucknow loses, it can give competition to CSK on the basis of net run rate.
RCB and Mumbai Indians are firmly in the playoff race with 14-14 points. In the last match, RCB has a clash with Gujarat Titans. RCB can win the play-off ticket by winning this match. On the other hand, Mumbai Indians will face a challenge from Sunrisers Hyderabad in the last match of the group stage. If Mumbai wins, then it is certain to play in the playoffs.
