IPL 2025 Scenarios: Delhi Capitals Still in Hunt for Top-Two Finish

Delhi Capitals' Path to Playoffs

Delhi Capitals can now finish on 13, 15, 17, or 19 points. To secure a playoffs berth, they need to win at least two of their remaining three games against MI, GT, and PBKS.

Delhi Capitals' Remaining Fixtures

• vs PBKS (Away)
• vs GT (Home)
• vs MI (Away)

GT vs MI Contest Crucial for Top-Two Finish

The MI vs GT contest is crucial for both teams' chances of a top-two finish. If GT win each of their next four games, they'll be confirmed of a top-two finish. If both finish on 20 points, either or both can still finish in top-two, depending on RCB's remaining results.

Points Required for Top-Two Finish

• 19 points: Delhi Capitals will stand a great chance of a top-two finish.
• 15 points: Delhi Capitals would need the loser of MI vs GT to stay at 14 points and hope the winner runs away towards the top.
• 17 points: There could be a three-way tie between KKR, PBKS, and DC, bringing it down to the net run-rate (NRR).
