If CSK and SRH both win in their remaining league stage matches, reaching a tally of 16 points, DC's chances of playoff qualification would be over, as their maximum achievable points would be capped at 14.

However, should CSK and SRH lose their final league stage matches, while DC triumphs over LSG and LSG, in turn, manages to upset Mumbai Indians (MI), then only DC will have a chance to qualify for IPL 2024 playoffs.

In this scenario, all four teams—DC, SRH, CSK, and LSG—would end the league stage with 14 points each and then the Net Run Rate (NRR) would come into play.

The two teams boasting superior net run rates among the quartet would qualify for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 playoffs.
