With 13 points from 11 matches, the team needs just two more wins from their remaining three matches to secure a place in the playoffs. Although the number of points required for qualification is 18, CSK can also make it to the playoffs with 17 points if they can improve their net run rate.

Lucknow Super Giants
Despite the loss to GT, LSG are still at the third spot with 11 points from 11 games. They are in contention with RCB, PBKS, CSK and RR for a spot in the playoffs. LSG have three more matches left and will look to capitalize on their early momentum to seal a place in the playoffs.
Remaining matches of Lucknow Super Giants:
May 13: Vs Sunrisers Hyderabad
May 16: Vs Mumbai Indians
May 20: vs Kolkata Knight Riders
Rajasthan Royals
Rajasthan Royals have been struggling of late as they have suffered their fifth defeat in the last six matches. Their match against SRH on Sunday was particularly disappointing, with Sandeep Sharma’s no-ball off the last ball leading to a 4-wicket defeat for RR. The team now has 10 points from 11 matches and is in danger of being knocked out of the playoffs. Both RCB and MI have the potential to overtake them with a win. To secure a playoff spot, RR must win all their remaining three games and hope for other results to work in their favour.

RCB’s chances of securing the third spot in the IPL 2023 playoffs took a hit following their 7-wicket defeat to DC on Saturday. The defeat left them with 10 points from 10 games, placing them fifth in the league standings. RCB have also suffered due to their net run rate, which is currently the worst among the top five teams. However, the team can still make it to the playoffs if they win their remaining four matches or if they secure 16 points and other results go in their favour.

Mumbai Indians
With only 10 points in 10 matches, Rohit Sharma and Mumbai Indians have made their journey to the playoffs more difficult. Their sixth place in the standings is due to their defeat against CSK, which also hurt their chances of breaking away from the mid-table crowd. To avoid the possibility of a net run rate situation, MI need to win all their remaining four games. MI can still qualify for the playoffs with 16 points if all other results are in their favour.

Kolkata Knight Riders
Despite the poor start, KKR are still in contention for a playoff spot after their recent win over SRH. They are currently in 8th position with 8 points from 10 matches. However, they need to act fast as time is running out. KKR need to win all their remaining four games to reach 16 points, but even that may not guarantee them a place in the playoffs if four other teams reach 18 points. With the odds against them, KKR should treat each of their upcoming four games as do-or-die matches. Another defeat would officially put him out of the running.
Remaining matches for Kolkata Knight Riders:
May 8: Vs Punjab Kings
May 11: vs Rajasthan Royals
May 14: vs Chennai Super Kings
May 20: vs Lucknow Super Giants
Sunrise Hyderabad
SRH pull off a last-ball thriller against Rajasthan Royals in Jaipur. The win has given them a lease of life in the race for the playoffs, as they have moved up to the 9th spot with 8 points from 10 matches. However, with only four games left, SRH need to win all of them to reach 16 points, which could get them a place in the playoffs, but other results will also need to fall in their favour. Unfortunately for SRH, their upcoming games are against tough opponents, which include Gujarat Titans and Lucknow Super Giants. They also face Mumbai Indians, who have an excellent record at their home ground, making their path to the playoffs a tough one.

However, DC needed to win all their remaining four games to have a chance at qualification. Although DC can still qualify with 16 points, other results should also fall in their favour.
