IPL 2025 Race Playoffs: How can GT, RCB, PBKS and MI secure top-two finish? All possible combinations explained
Blog Article
The race to finish in the top two of the Tata IPL 2025 points table is at a fever pitch, and with just a handful of league games remaining, every match counts. As fans gear up for the final league encounters, Winexch offers exclusive insights, real-time updates, and expert Tata IPL 2025 Match Predictions to help you stay ahead of the game. Gujarat Titans, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Punjab Kings, and Mumbai Indians have confirmed their playoff spots, but finishing in the top two remains crucial — offering the winners a double chance to reach the final.
The 18th edition of the Indian Premier League has been among the most unpredictable seasons yet. With Gujarat Titans, RCB, and PBKS sealing qualification after Match 60, and MI joining the fray by Match 63, this marks the earliest all four teams have qualified since the league expanded to 10 franchises in 2022. Historically, teams have taken longer to secure playoff spots, making IPL 2025 a standout season for early qualification.
Why Top Two Matters
Finishing in the top two provides two distinct advantages:
A direct entry to the final by winning Qualifier 1.
A second chance to reach the final through Qualifier 2 if they lose the first.
Remaining League Fixtures to Watch:
GT vs LSG – May 22
RCB vs SRH – May 23
PBKS vs DC – May 24
GT vs CSK – May 25
SRH vs KKR – May 25
PBKS vs MI – May 26
LSG vs RCB – May 27
Except for SRH vs KKR, all remaining fixtures influence the final top-two standings. With only two points separating GT (18) and MI (16), multiple scenarios are still in play.
