 "DC and LSG Playoff qualification scenarios")
DC and LSG Playoff qualification scenarios: Delhi Capitals qualified six times for playoffs between IPL 2008 and 2023.
How can Delhi qualify for IPL 2024 Playoffs?
The Capitals had a golden opportunity against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) when they last played at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. However, their leader Rishabh Pant was missing and the blue brigade made a mess of it, losing the game by a huge margin of 47 runs.
The chances of RCB, Chennai Super Kings, LSG, Sunrisers Hyderabad, and the Capitals, all finishing on 14 points are very real. In that case, all the focus would move to the net run rate. Here are the conditions for Delhi to make it to the playoffs:
They would hope that CSK loses its match against RCB and SRH loses both of their last two games. These two losses should be by a big margin. LSG should also lose their last match.
How can LSG remain in the playoff race?
LSG, which has lost the last three of its matches, must now win their last game. This could make them reach 14 points. In that case, they would have to win their last game by a huge margin against the Mumbai Indians and hope that Chennai beats RCB and SRH lose both their matches as well.
