4 more matches are left before the play-offs began. We have come almost to the end of the tournament are it is almost finalized that which teams would make it to the Top 4.
Kings XI Punjab, Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders have already qualified and it is sure that KXIP would be at the Top of the table at the end of the league stage. But the second spot is still open and all 3 teams would like to grab that spot as it would give an added advantage to qualify for the finals.
Teams standing –
| Team Name | Matches | Won | Lost | Points | Net Run Rate |
| Kings XI Punjab (Q) | 13 | 10 | 3 | 20 | +0.810 |
| Chennai Super Kings (Q) | 13 | 8 | 5 | 16 | +0.315 |
| Kolkata Knight Riders (Q) | 13 | 8 | 5 | 16 | +0.264 |
| Rajasthan Royals | 13 | 7 | 6 | 14 | +0.247 |
| Mumbai Indians | 13 | 6 | 7 | 12 | -0.086 |
| Sunrisers Hyderabad | 13 | 6 | 7 | 12 | -0.231 |
| Royal Challengers Bangalore | 13 | 5 | 8 | 10 | -0.362 |
| Delhi Daredevils | 13 | 2 | 11 | 4 | -1.043 |
It is clear that RR would be the 4th team to qualify for the playoffs though MI and SRH have a slight chance but their negative run rate would be their biggest hurdle to qualify.
