points table of ipl 2024<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nKolkata Knight Riders (KKR) Lead the Pack of the IPL 2024 points table<\/h2>\n
KKR, with 19 points, has already secured a playoff berth and is at the top of the IPL 2024 points table. They will either finish as table-toppers or the second-placed team, ensuring their place in Qualifier 1 at Chennai.\u00a0If they lose in Qualifier 1, they\u2019ll move to Qualifier 2, awaiting the winner of the Eliminator for another shot at the final.<\/p>\n
CSK are currently placed third in the points table with 14 points<\/h2>\n
The LSG loss has made the equation clearer for CSK. Win against RCB and confirm a playoff spot. If CSK manage a win over RCB on Saturday, SRH is the only team that can push CSK down the points table, and CSK cannot go below 4th place if they have 16 points in their kitty. However, a loss to RCB will make things tricky for CSK. They will remain on 14 points and if their margin of defeat is more than 18 runs (if RCB bats first and scores 200 runs), then RCB will leapfrog CSK in the points table. In that case, CSK will hope SRH loses their remaining two games and both CSK and RCB will make it through to the playoff.<\/p>\n
SRH is currently placed fourth in the IPL 2024 points table with 14 points<\/h2>\n
SRH has two games in hand and needs one win to seal the third playoff spot. If they manage to win both their games, they have the chance to finish in the top- two, provided RR loses both their game or loses at least one. But that is not something SRH will be focusing right now. If SRH loses both their remaining games and CSK beats RCB or vice-versa, SRH will be vulnerable, and the final playoff spot could very well be decided on the net Rate. Even though SRH\u2019s NRR is far better than their closest competitors’, the Pat Cummins-led side would not want to go down that path.<\/p>\n
