So how the remaining one spot for the playoffs will be determined?


CSK Playoffs qualification scenarios

Scenario 1: Win their last fixture against RCB and qualify for playoffs at 16 points at the end of the league. In this case, they have to depend on the results of RR and SRH's game for knowing whether Chennai will end the league phase as top two team.

Scenario 2: If they lose their last match against RCB by less than 18 runs or less than 11 balls, Ruturaj Gaikwad's side will qualify for the playoffs despite losing the match. 

RCB Playoff qualification scenario

The only scenario for RCB: If they win their last fixture against CSK by 18 or more runs or beat Chennai with 11 or more balls remaining, they will have 14 points and a net run rate superior of CSK. In this case, they would end up the league phase at 4th spot and qualify for the playoffs.

LSG Playoff qualification scenario

The only scenario for LSG: Win their match against Mumbai Indians with huge margin and attain 14 points in as many matches. LSG need to improve their inferior net run rate to qualify for the playoffs given DC and CSK have a better net run rate than them.
