The IPL 2025 playoffs are heating up, with three teams already eliminated and no team having secured a spot in the top four yet. As the league stage nears its end, the competition is getting fiercer. Let’s take a look at the current standings and which teams are likely to make it to the playoffs.
Three teams have been eliminated from the IPL 2025 playoffs: Chennai Super Kings (CSK), Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), and Rajasthan Royals (RR). Although they’re out of the running, they can still impact other teams’ chances by winning their remaining matches.
Teams Nearing a Playoff Spot
Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) is closest to securing a playoff spot with 16 points and three matches to play. Even if they lose all three, they’ll still have a chance. One more win, and they’re in. Punjab Kings is another strong contender with 15 points from 11 matches. If they win one of their remaining three matches, they’ll likely secure a playoff spot.
Gujarat Titans is the third team with a good chance, having earned 14 points from 10 matches. They can not only make the playoffs but also top the table if they win their remaining matches, potentially reaching 22 points.
Battle for the Fourth Spot
The fight for the fourth playoff spot is intense among four teams: Mumbai Indians, Kolkata Knight Riders, Lucknow Super Giants, and Delhi Capitals. Based on current points, remaining matches, and net run rate, Mumbai Indians seems to be the frontrunner. If they win one of their three remaining matches, they’ll likely secure the fourth spot.
The IPL 2025 playoffs are shaping up to be thrilling, with several teams still in contention. The final matches will be crucial in determining which teams make it to the top four.
