IPL 2024: Which teams have qualified for the playoffs?

Kolkata Knight Riders finished the league stage at the top of the table, securing nine wins and 20 points from 14 games. They also had a record-breaking net run rate of +1.428, the highest by any team at the end of the league stage of an IPL season.

Sunrisers Hyderabad qualified for the playoffs at the second position, with 17 points and a higher NRR (+0.414) than Rajasthan Royals (+0.273), who had the same number of points. More than halfway through the tournament, RR were leading the points table, but they didn’t manage to win a single game out of their last five, and finished third on the table.

The most dramatic entry into the top four was made by the Royal Challengers Bengaluru, who were at the bottom of the points table having won only one out of their first eight games. They turned their campaign around to win six on the bounce and managed to scrape through at the fourth spot with 14 points, the same as three other teams – Chennai Super Kings, Delhi Capitals, and Lucknow Super Giants.
