The Delhi Capitals are eliminated from the playoffs as a result of this loss. There is now a competitive fight between Gujarat, Bangalore, and Punjab for the top two spots.
Three teams compete for the top two spots.
The top two teams in the IPL points standings have two chances to get to the final because they play the qualifiers straight. These are the two positions that every team aims to finish in. This season, the Gujarat Titans, Royal Challengers Bangalore, and Punjab Kings are vying for the top two spots. Mumbai is competing as well, although it will also be influenced by the outcomes of other teams.
The Gujarat Titans can score up to 22 points. Its two games are on May 22 against Lucknow and May 25 versus Chennai. Bengaluru, on the other hand, has the same amount of games remaining and may score up to 21 points. Bengaluru’s next games are scheduled for May 23 against Hyderabad and May 27 against Lucknow. On May 24, Punjab Kings will play the Delhi Capitals, and on May 26, they will play the Mumbai Indians. It will be intriguing to watch which of these three teams places first or second in the points table because they have all played well this season.
The Mumbai Indians make a spectacular return.
The Mumbai Indians’ IPL 2025 campaign got off to a terrible start. After winning just one of its first five games, the Hardik Pandya-led squad rallied to win seven of its next eight games to earn a spot in the playoffs. Mumbai, the five-time champion, is likely to play in the elimination round after making it to the playoffs for the eleventh time.
The Mumbai Indians must defeat the Punjab Kings in their final game if they want to place in the top two. In addition, they will need to hope that Hyderabad and Lucknow defeat Bangalore in their most recent games and that Delhi Capitals defeat Punjab Kings in their most recent game. If this occurs, Mumbai would finish in the top two with 18 points, while Bangalore and Punjab will be restricted to 17–17 points. However, given the performance of Bangalore and Punjab, its chances are slim.
