As the league stage is moving towards the end, the picture of the playoffs is also getting clear, Gujarat Titans, Royal Challengers Bangalore and Punjab Kings have already secured their place in the playoffs. But the fourth place has still not been decided, for which three more teams can see a tough competition between Delhi Capitals, Mumbai Indians and Lucknow Supergiants.
Gujarat’s dominance remains intact
Gujarat Titans have won 9 out of 12 matches in this tournament from the beginning. The team has 18 points and is currently at the top of the points table. The big win by 10 wickets against Delhi Capitals has further strengthened the confidence of Gujarat Titans.
RCB and Punjab Kings also qualified
The second place is the Royal Challengers Bangalore, who has scored 17 points in 12 matches and made it to the playoffs. RCB got one point due to the cancellation of the match due to rain against Kolkata Knight Rai Rai, which ensured his place in the playoffs.
At the same time, Punjab Kings defeated Rajasthan Royals not only completed 17 points, but have also strengthened the claim and have made their place in the playoffs as the third team.
Tight collision for fourth place
Mumbai Indians are currently in fourth place with 14 points by winning 7 out of 12 matches, and their last matches are going to be very important.
