IPL 2016 is the ninth edition of the Indian Premier League. IPL 9 began on 9th April 2016, and now as we enter the business end of the tournament, things are getting hot. After the group stage games, there will be played a playoff stage (2 qualifiers, 1 eliminator and a final). The top-four on the points table will qualify for the playoff round in IPL 2016.

Now we will look the chances of qualify in a play-off for the each team in the IPL 9.
