IPL 2025 Playoff Chances for Mumbai and Delhi- A Detailed Overview
Gujarat Titans became the first team to qualify for the IPL 2025 playoffs after defeating Delhi Capitals. This victory also confirmed playoff spots for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Punjab Kings (PBKS). The three teams are now competing for the top two positions. Meanwhile, IPL 2025 playoff chances for Mumbai and Delhi depend on critical outcomes in their remaining matches and performances by other teams.
Gujarat Titans, led by Shubman Gill, secured their playoff spot with 18 points and have two matches left. If they win both, they will reach 22 points and likely finish at the top of the table.
RCB, Punjab Confirm Playoffs; Race for Top-Two Intensifies
RCB, also through to the playoffs, can accumulate 21 points if they win both remaining games. If Gujarat drops one of their matches, RCB could enter the top two.
Punjab Kings, captained by Shreyas Iyer, have also qualified. With two more wins and a loss from either RCB or Gujarat, Punjab could finish in the top two as well.
Mumbai Indians’ Scenario for IPL 2025 Playoffs
Mumbai Indians must win both of their final matches to make the top four. With 14 points from 12 games, two wins would take them to 18. Mumbai has a strong net run rate, so even one win might be enough, depending on other match outcomes.
Delhi Capitals’ Narrow Path to Qualification
Delhi Capitals complicated their playoff journey with a loss to Gujarat. With 13 points from 12 games, they must beat Mumbai on May 21 and win their final match against Punjab. Additionally, Mumbai must lose their last match to Punjab. These results would give Delhi 17 points, potentially qualifying them for the playoffs.
Lucknow Super Giants Face Tough Road
Lucknow Super Giants, currently at 10 points from 11 matches, must win all their remaining games. A loss to Sunrisers Hyderabad today would eliminate them. Wins in all matches combined with favorable results from others could help them qualify.
