    IPL 2026: Five Teams Remain In Hunt For Lone Remaining Playoff Spot

    By IANS News May 19, 2026 • 09:24 AM View: 312
    Indian Premier League: As we draw closer to the end of the league stage in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, the race for the playoffs has gotten quite interesting. With RCB, GT, and SRH having already booked their places in the top 4, there is now just one remaining spot for which five teams are battling it out.

    RCB was the first team to officially book their spot after a convincing win against Punjab Kings in Dharamsala on Sunday. SRH booked their spot the next day after a victory over Chennai Super Kings in Chepauk which also confirmed Gujarat Titans' playoff berth. Two teams, Mumbai Indians and Lucknow Super Giants, are officially out of the running.

    RCB remain the favorites for a top two finish. They will finish in the top two regardless of their result against SRH if CSK beat GT on the 21st or if RCB defeat SRH in Hyderabad on the 22nd . If they do win their final game, they will finish first with 20 points, and even a loss shouldn't put them outside of the top two with a healthy net run rate of 1.065 as GT would need to defeat CSK by an extremely large margin to surpass them.
