IPL 2022: MI and CSK out, 3 qualification spots still open - All playoffs possibilities in 11 points

IPL 2022 now, there still remain 2,048 possible combinations of results. TOI looks at each of these possibilities to calculate the chances of individual teams making it to the playoffs. On Friday morning, May 13, CSK became the second team after MI to be officially knocked out of the playoffs race.

Except for three teams - GT which has qualified for the playoffs and MI and CSK (those who can’t)- the tournament is still open for the others. For some, the odds are more favorable while some might barely scrape through. Here is how the probabilities stand on the morning of May 13: 1) Despite the win vs CSK on Thursday, MI is out of the reckoning for a playoff spot.

2) Today’s loss means that CSK can also not qualify for the top four. 3) KKR’s chances of making the fourth spot remain at 7%, but the best it can hope for is tied third with four to six teams or a tied fourth position with two to five teams 4) DC’s chances of making it to the top four slots on points remain at 40.6% but they cannot top the points table 5) PBKS’ chances of a top-four finish have also remained at 26.6%, but like DC it can also no longer top the table 6) SRH’s chances of finishing in the top four spots on points remain at 23.4%% and it too cannot finish at the top of the points table after the league stage 7) RCB’s chances of making it to one of the top four slots also remain at 88.7%. At worst, they’ll finish sixth on points 8) RR has a 91.8% chance of finishing among the top four in terms of points.
