MI’S loss against GT will give RCB, KKR, SRH, LSG, and RR some relief as all these teams except KKR can finish on 16 points. KKR can only finish on 14 points, and it would be tough for them to qualify as other results need to their way. Like KKR, DC also can finish on 14 points.

But all these teams will hope MI loses one game, or else, PBKS, RCB, RR, and LSG, SRH won’t qualify for playoffs. CSK are currently placed second on the points table with 15 points. Another win for them will seal their playoff berth.
