New Delhi. Indian Premier League 2024 is now slowly moving towards its last stage. All the teams have played 9-9 matches and two names have almost confirmed their place in the playoff. There are 3 teams which are in constant danger of being eliminated. Out of these, there are two teams for whom one defeat can spoil everything while the defeat of one team can directly take them out of the tournament.
The path to the playoffs is becoming difficult for some teams that have entered the new season of IPL with new hopes. Rajasthan Royals is the only team which currently has 16 points and its place has been confirmed. Kolkata Knight Riders achieved 12th point after defeating Delhi Capitals and their claim for the next round has also become stronger. Even one defeat can have a heavy impact on the bottom three teams in the points table.
1 defeat may make the road difficult
Mumbai Indians are playing under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya this season. The team’s performance so far has been average. This team has a chance to reach 16 points but one defeat can spoil its work. The situation is exactly the same for Punjab Kings. After playing 9 matches, the team has got 3 wins but they can reach 16 points by winning the remaining 5 matches. If the team gets even 1 defeat, its problems will increase.
Hope will end with 1 defeat
The situation is very difficult for the team of Royal Challengers Bangalore. Even after winning all its remaining matches, the team is reaching only 14 points. In such a situation, if she gets even 1 defeat, she will be directly out of the tournament. However, even after reaching 14 points, it is not certain that it will go to the playoffs.
