IPL 2024 play-off qualification: DC, LSG knockouts odds and scenarios
DC and LSG Playoff Qualification Scenarios: Delhi Capitals qualified for play-offs six times between IPL 2008 and 2023.
How can Delhi qualify for the IPL 2024 Playoffs?
The Capitals got a golden opportunity against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) when they last played at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. However, their leader Rishabh Pant was missing and the blue brigade made a mess of it and lost the match by a huge margin of 47 points.
This pushed their net run rate down and as a result they now not only have to beat LSG in their last league match, but win big so that when it comes to many teams on 14 points, DC can clear the net run rate hurdle can overcome. .

The chances of RCB, Chennai Super Kings, LSG, Sunrisers Hyderabad and the Capitals all finishing on 14 points are very real. In that case, all attention would shift to the net run rate. These are the conditions under which Delhi can reach the play-offs:
Delhi have to beat LSG by a big margin and then hope that CSK lose the match against RCB and SRH lose both their last two matches. These two losses should be by a wide margin. LSG should also lose their last match.
How can LSG stay in the play-off race?
LSG, who have lost both their last two matches, now need to win both their next two matches. This would allow them to gain 16 points, in which case their chances of qualifying would increase. However, if they lose one game and the next, they remain in the hunt, but in that case it comes down to their net run rate.
