IPL 2024 Updates: Can Mumbai Indians Still Make the IPL Playoffs?

The Mumbai Indians (MI) have found themselves in unfamiliar territory this IPL season 2024– struggling towards the bottom of the points table. Fans are wondering if they can still turn things around and qualify for the playoffs. Let’s figure out their situation and see how things might unfold.

What if Mumbai loses to KKR?

With only a few matches remaining, a loss against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) today would be a massive setback for MI’s playoff hopes. Even with a win, their qualification hinges on several factors beyond their control.

What about RCB’s chances? Are they still in the mix?

Similar to MI, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) have also underperformed this season. With 6 points from 10 matches, RCB is at the bottom of the table. While mathematically they haven’t been knocked out yet, their path to the playoffs is incredibly narrow. They would need to win all their remaining matches and rely heavily on favorable results from other encounters.

Rajasthan Royals have all but qualified, right?

The Rajasthan Royals (RR) have been one of the most consistent teams this season. Their strong performance and current position in the points table make them strong contenders for a playoff spot. While mathematically they haven’t secured it yet, barring a major collapse, they are highly likely to qualify.
