IPL 2024 Playoffs qualification scenario for Delhi Capitals (DC): The ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 season is at an exciting peak, with Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) having secured their spots in IPL 2024 playoffs. Meanwhile, five other teams are still competing for the remaining two slots.
Rishabh Pant's Delhi Capitals (DC) are still alive in Indian Premier League (IPL) Playoffs race, and could still finish among the top four teams, but their advancement to the next stage will depend on several factors.
How Delhi Capitals (DC) can qualify for IPL 2024 Playoffs after win over LSG in IPL 2024 match 64 on Tuesday (May 14)
With 14 points from 7 wins and 7 losses in 14 games, and a net run rate of -0.377, Delhi Capitals (DC) are currently in 5th position in the IPL standings.
Delhi Capitals (DC) have completed their league stage with all 14 matches played. With 14 points, DC's chances of making it to IPL 2024 Playoffs are slim due to their poor net run rate of -0.377. Now, their qualification for IPL 2024 playoffs depends on the outcomes of other matches.
Delhi Capitals (DC) can still make it to the IPL 2024 playoffs if Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), currently in 4th place in points table with 14 points, lose their remaining two matches by big margins. For DC to benefit, SRH would need to lose both matches by a cumulative margin of 194 runs for their net run rate (NRR) to fall below DC's. Currently, SRH have a net run rate of +0.406. DC's NRR stands at -0.377.
Moreover, for Delhi Capitals (DC) to enhance their chances of making it to IPL 2024 playoffs, they will need Chennai Super Kings (CSK) to defeat Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in their league stage match on Saturday (May 18).
Delhi Capitals (DC) are mathematically still in IPL 2024 playoffs race, but it is safe to say they are virtually out of contention. It is highly unlikely that DC will qualify for the IPL 2024 playoffs.
