KKR’s chances for IPL 2021 playoffs qualification

 

If KKR lose to Punjab today but win its  final two games – against Hyderabad and Rajasthan – it may still qualify for the final four with 14 points, possibly without having to rely on NRR if other outcomes go its way. However, at least one of Royal Challengers Bangalore or Mumbai Indians must finish below 16 in order for them to be in contention with 14 points. The run rate of the KKR is currently the best among the teams in this group, which should benefit if it comes down to this.

IPL 2021 playoffs scenario for Punjab Kings

However, the playoffs scenario for Punjab Kings is not easy. PBKS will have a chance if it wins its final three games and finish on 14, but it may not be enough because four clubs – the current top three plus the Mumbai Indians – can still finish with 16 or more points. If PBKS lose, it will almost probably be eliminated, while it is still possible for the teams ranked fourth through seventh to finish with 12 points apiece, however unlikely it may seem.
