IPL 2020: Race to playoffs heats up with six teams vying for top four slots; Mumbai Indians only team to qualify, CSK out of race

IPL 2020: Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 has come to an exciting stage where each team is left with only one match and top four teams for the playoffs remain undecided. Table topper Mumbai Indians is the only team to seal its spot in the playoffs. MI secured this position after thrashing Delhi Capitals (DC) in Saturday’s encounter. It was also the fourth straight loss for DC, formerly a table topper, in the 13th edition of the tournament.

IPL 2020 points table shows six teams still eying the remaining three spots in the playoffs, while CSK is the only team that is out of the race.
Currently, MI sits atop the points table with 18 points. MI is followed by RCB and DC, with both of them having 14 points each, while other teams, barring CSK, have 12 points each. CSK is at the bottom of the ladder with only 10 points.  

The tournament turned interesting after Sunday’s two encounters—MI vs DC and RCB vs SRH. Mumbai Indians ensured the playoffs spots remain open by beating Delhi Capital (12 points) in the first match, while SRH kept its chances alive by trashing RCB (12 points) by five wickets in just 14.1 overs.

The next four matches will decide the final four, with net run rate playing a crucial role in the outcome.

Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders both will try to fancy their chances when they take on each other in the Sunday game. Kings XI Punjab will also try to keep its chances to move ahead in the tournament by beating already eliminated Chennai Super Kings in another game on Sunday.
