Title: IPL 2024 Playoffs Qualification Scenarios Explained: KKR first team to seal top-four slot; What each needs to do to qualify

As we approach the business end of the IPL 2024 season, the race for playoff spots is heating up. With only 10 games left in the league stage, seven teams are still in contention for the remaining three slots in the playoffs. Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have become the first team to secure a top-four spot, but the battle for the remaining places promises to be intense.

Here’s a breakdown of what each team needs to do to secure a playoff berth:

1. Mumbai Indians (MI): Currently sitting in second place, MI will book their spot in the playoffs with one more win in their remaining matches.

2. Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB): RCB are in a comfortable position but will need to win at least two of their remaining games to guarantee a playoff spot.

3. Rajasthan Royals (RR): RR are currently on the outside looking in, but a strong finish to the season could see them sneak into the playoffs.

4. Chennai Super Kings (CSK): The defending champions are in danger of missing out on the playoffs, but two wins in their last four matches should be enough to see them through.

5. Delhi Capitals (DC): DC are in a similar position to CSK and will need to win at least two of their remaining fixtures to keep their playoff hopes alive.

6. Punjab Kings (PBKS): PBKS have a tough road ahead, needing to win all their remaining games to have a chance of making the playoffs.

7. Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH): SRH are the underdogs in this race and will need a miracle to secure a playoff spot.
