IPL 2025 Playoff Scenarios: How the Points Table Looks After SRH’s Elimination and DC’s Rain-Affected Draw
The 2025 Indian Premier League is entering its final phase, and the battle for playoff spots is tighter than ever. Following a rain-washed clash between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Delhi Capitals at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, SRH became the third team to be officially knocked out of playoff contention. Meanwhile, Delhi picked up a crucial point that keeps them alive in the race for the top four — and potentially even a top-two finish.
This result not only sealed SRH’s fate but also added layers of complexity to the playoff race, especially with several mid-table teams still in contention. The updated points table and upcoming fixtures for key franchises show a fiercely competitive road ahead.
Updated IPL 2025 Points Table
Here’s how the points table stands after 11 games each for most teams:
| Team | Matches | Won | Lost | NR | Points | NRR |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) | 11 | 8 | 3 | 0 | 16 | +0.482 |
| Punjab Kings (PBKS) | 11 | 7 | 3 | 1 | 15 | +0.376 |
| Mumbai Indians (MI) | 11 | 7 | 4 | 0 | 14 | +1.274 |
| Gujarat Titans (GT) | 10 | 7 | 3 | 0 | 14 | +0.867 |
| Delhi Capitals (DC) | 11 | 6 | 4 | 1 | 13 | +0.362 |
| Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) | 11 | 5 | 5 | 1 | 11 | +0.249 |
| Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) | 11 | 5 | 6 | 0 | 10 | –0.469 |
| Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) – Eliminated | 11 | 3 | 7 | 1 | 7 | –1.192 |
| Rajasthan Royals (RR) – Eliminated | 12 | 3 | 9 | 0 | 6 | –0.718 |
| Chennai Super Kings (CSK) – Eliminated | 11 | 2 | 9 | 0 | 4 | –1.117 |
How Delhi Capitals Can Still Qualify
Delhi Capitals now have three games remaining:
-
vs Punjab Kings (Away)
-
vs Gujarat Titans (Home)
-
vs Mumbai Indians (Away)
The scenarios for DC are:
-
If they lose all remaining games (finish with 13 points): They will be eliminated.
-
If they win 1 of 3 (15 points): They will rely heavily on other results and Net Run Rate (NRR).
-
If they win 2 of 3 (17 points): They could qualify directly, especially if one or two top teams drop points.
-
If they win all 3 (19 points): They’ll likely secure a top-two finish, ensuring two chances at the final.
The upcoming fixtures against fellow contenders (MI, PBKS, GT) mean Delhi’s destiny is in their own hands.
Why the MI vs GT Clash is a Playoff Decider
The upcoming match between Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Titans is now one of the most crucial of the season. Both teams are within touching distance of a top-two spot.
Remaining Fixtures
Gujarat Titans:
-
vs MI (Away)
-
vs DC (Away)
-
vs LSG (Home)
-
vs CSK (Home)
Mumbai Indians:
-
vs GT (Home)
-
vs PBKS (Away)
-
vs DC (Home)
Both teams can reach 18 or more points, and a victory in this head-to-head clash will give a significant advantage, not just in points but also in denting a direct rival’s chances. Mumbai’s strong NRR (+1.274) could play a decisive role if qualification comes down to net run rate.
Lucknow Super Giants in Must-Win Territory
With just 10 points from 11 games, LSG must win all their remaining fixtures to finish at 16. But even then, qualification would require favorable results elsewhere due to their negative NRR (-0.469). They’ll need KKR, DC, or PBKS to lose multiple matches to stay in the hunt.
As the league enters its final stretch, RCB, MI, PBKS, and GT look best placed for qualification. Delhi Capitals still have control over their playoff fate, but need consistent wins to seal the deal. Mumbai vs Gujarat will be the game to watch, with its direct implications on the top-two race.
With three teams already eliminated (SRH, RR, CSK), the rest are set to battle it out over the next week for the coveted four playoff spots.
