IPL 2025 Points Table

The 18th edition of the IPL 2025 gets underway on March 22, with defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) hosting Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata.

The cash-rich tournament will consist of 74 matches, with 10 teams competing for the coveted prize. The final will be played on May 25th at Eden Gardens. Cricket enthusiasts are excited ahead of this season, as it will be the first one after the mega-auction which was held last year in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Many teams have assembled strong squads, hoping to go the distance.

Each team will play 14 matches in the round-robin phase of the tournament. The top four teams will progress to the playoffs. The teams which will finish in the top two will get two shots at reaching the final. Meanwhile, teams finishing third and fourth will have to win two matches to get to the summit clash.

A win will earn a team two points. If a match ends without a result due to weather or other external factors, each team will be awarded one point. If two or more teams are tied with the same points at the end of the league phase, net run-rate will be the deciding factor.

A victory will fetch two points, while a loss accounts for zero points accrued. In the event of a Draw, a point will be given to both the competing teams. Similarly, if a match is abandoned or cannot be concluded due to weather or external agents, both teams will secure one point each. In addition to points, the Net Run Rate will be taken in consideration for higher position on the table in case of equinumerous points among multiple teams. This metric becomes crucial as a tiebreaker in situations where two or more teams have the same number of points.
