After the crushing defeat against Delhi Capitals (DC), Mumbai Indians (MI) are currently sitting at the bottom 9th position in IPL 2024 points table with 6 points from 9 games, having lost six matches and winning just three.
Indian Premier League (IPL) expanded to include 10 teams in 2022. Since then, squads eyeing a top-four finish by the end of the league stage generally set their sights on accruing a minimum of 16 points.
With only five matches left for Mumbai Indians (MI) in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 season league stage, the Hardik Pandya-led side now needs to win in all their remaining games to reach the crucial 16-point mark for IPL 2024 playoff qualification.
Equally important is maintaining a healthy net run rate (NRR), which could prove decisive in MI's playoff aspirations. Any slip-ups from here on would jeopardize MI's chances, as a single loss would extinguish their hopes of direct qualification.
However, in scenarios where multiple teams are tied on points for the fourth slot, MI could still advance based on their superior run rate.
