Interesting battle between the four teams of finish on top-2.
The league stage match of the IPL 2025 season will end on May 27, in which the four teams who reached the playoffs were decided when 7 matches of the league stage were left. However, since then it has not been decided yet which two teams will end the league stage matches while staying on top-2. In such a situation, the fans will have to wait till the last match of the league stage. This time the team of Gujarat Titans, Royal Challengers Bangalore, Punjab Kings and Mumbai Indians have made it to the playoffs, so we are going to tell you about what equations are being made for the four teams to finish the top-2.
Gujarat Titans will just have to win their last match
Under the captaincy of Shubman Gill, the Gujarat Titans team has witnessed excellent performance in the IPL 2025 season. The Gujarat team scored 18 points with playing 13 matches in the league stage and their net runrate is +0.602. If the team of Gujarat Titans has to finish the top-2, then they will have to win the last match of their league stage. However, if he is not successful in doing so, it can be difficult for the Gujarat team to finish in the top-2 because if RCB wins his match against Lucknow, then he will have 19 points, while in the match between Punjab and Mumbai, it can be considered to be almost certain to end the top-2. While Punjab will leave behind in the case of points, then Mumbai will win, then they will have 18 points, but Net runrate is much better than Gujarat.
RCB will have to monitor the match of Gujarat and Punjab with winning their last match
The team of Royal Challengers Bangalore also has a chance to finish the top-2. He has 17 points after 13 matches in the league stage, while RCB will have to win his last match against Lucknow, while the team of Gujarat will have to lose in the match against CSK, while Punjab Kings should also face defeat in the match against Mumbai. However, if this does not happen, in that case RCB will have to play an eliminator match in which he has played four times out of the last five seasons.
Mumbai Indians also have a chance to finish the top-2
This season, the Mumbai Indians team had a bad start in which they had to face defeat in four of their first 5 matches. However, after that Mumbai made such a comeback that now where he has confirmed his place for the playoffs, he also has a chance to finish the top-2. Mumbai currently has 16 points and if he wins his last match against Punjab Kings, he will end the league stage with 18 points. At the same time, Mumbai will have to expect to finish the top-2 either either Gujarat Titans or RCB will face defeat in their last match.
These equations are being made for Punjab Kings
Punjab Kings, playing under the captaincy of Shreyas Iyer, have a total of 17 points after 13 matches. At the same time, he has to play his last match against the Mumbai Indians team in the league stage, in which if he wins, it will be a little easier for Punjab to finish while staying on top-2. Punjab will have to expect the same or the CSK team to win against Gujarat or RCB has to face defeat in the match against Lucknow. On the other hand, if the RCB team wins, then the importance of net runret will increase considerably in that situation. On the other hand, if the Punjab Kings team has to face defeat, then they will not be able to do finish while staying in the top-2.
