RCB need to beat GT in their last game to move to 16 points to reach the Playoffs stage. They can reach Playoffs if MI, KKR, RR and PBKS all remain on 14 points as RCB have best NRR.
RCB can finish in 2nd place as well if CSK and LSG lose their last league matches and Faf du Plessis side beat GT to move to 16 points.
MI have slipped to 5th spot and need to beat SRH in their last league match to move to 16 points and keep themselves in contention for Playoffs. If MI win, while RCB lose, Rohit Sharma's team will qualify.
CSK need to beat DC in their last league match and move to 17 points to qualify for Playoffs stage. They can also qualify even after losing to DC if MI and RCB lose their last matches.
LSG need to beat KKR in their final game and move to 17 points to qualify for the IPL 2023 Playoffs stage. They can also qualify even after losing to KKR if MI and RCB lose their last matches.
KKR need to beat LSG in their final game by a huge margin to boost their NRR and move to 14 points and hope that RR, PBKS, MI and RCB don't win their last match.
RR, like PBKS, need to win their last match against Shikhar Dhawan's side to move to 14 points and hope MI, RCB and KKR lose their last matches as well.
PBKS need to beat Rajasthan Royals on Friday night by a huge margin to move to 14 points and improve their run-rate and keep their slim hopes alive.
