News India Live, Digital Desk: IPL 2025 Super Sunday: The league stage of IPL 2025 is in its final stage, in such a situation, promises to give a new look to the double-header playoff race on May 18. Now that only a few matches are left, today’s results can strengthen or complicate the possibilities of qualification for many teams.
In the afternoon match, Rajasthan Royals (RR) will face Punjab Kings (PBKS) in Jaipur. The RR has already been out of the playoff race, but their victory can affect the top-four battle to a great extent. If RR defeats Pbks, the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will officially qualify for the playoffs. PBKS, sitting in a strong position with 15 points, aims to eliminate the playoffs of its decade, which was last seen in 2014.
Today the picture of the playoff can change this way:
If PBks defeated RR and GT defeated DC – PBKS, RCB and GT will qualify
If PBKs defeated RR and DC defeated GT – no team will be able to qualify officially yet
If RR defeats PBKS, RCB will qualify immediately
If GT defeats DC – RCB and GT will qualify
Every result matters. For teams like DC and PBKS, all this is about existence. For GT and RCB, today can bring relief. And for fans? Expect up fluctuations, stress and exciting ends.
