Here’s how the fate of teams stands after the 62nd game:

4. Sunrisers Hyderabad

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) have emerged as strong contenders in IPL 2024, defying batting challenges with their solid batting unit. Winning seven out of 12 matches, they've accumulated 14 points. Their goal now is to secure a spot in the top two, a further loss would drag them down.

5. Royal Challengers Bengaluru

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) have showcased their prowess with a streak of five consecutive wins, keeping their playoff hopes alive by triumphing over Delhi Capitals in Match 62. Their path to the playoffs depends on the setbacks of CSK, DC, and LSG. With six victories out of 13 matches, they stand at 12 points in the league standings.

6. Delhi Capitals

Delhi Capitals (DC) playoff hopes hang in the balance after their defeat to RCB. Like RCB, their playoff chances are uncertain, but their inferior net run rate might prove problematic with another loss. With six victories in 13 matches, they've gathered 12 points. To clinch a top-four position, they must rely on outcomes from other matches.

7. Lucknow Super Giants

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) are vying for a top-four spot, contending with RCB and DC. Yet, their unfavourable net run rate might hinder their chances if CSK and SRH continue their winning streaks. Having secured six victories in 12 matches, they stand at 14 points. However, further defeats in their remaining two fixtures could dash their hopes of making it to the playoffs.

8. Gujarat Titans

Gujarat Titans (GT) kept their playoff dreams alive with a vital win over CSK, staying in the hunt for a spot in the playoffs. With five victories in 12 matches, they've gathered 10 points. However, their chances of reaching the playoffs rely heavily on favourable results from other matches, given their minimal net run rate.

9. Mumbai Indians

Mumbai Indians (MI), touted as a formidable side before IPL 2024, have disappointed with just four victories in 13 matches, amassing eight points. Their early exit from the league became apparent, and their recent loss to KKR in Match 60 has compounded their troubles, leaving them seeking a chance for revival.

10. Punjab Kings

Punjab Kings (PBKS) faced multiple hurdles after a strong beginning. The absence of their skipper for a significant part of the tournament and a lacklustre performance by the top order led to their downfall. They became the second team to bow out of the league, securing only four victories in 12 matches, amounting to eight points.
