The IPL 2026 playoffs are getting intense as the group stage nears its end. Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) has already qualified, while Mumbai Indians and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) have been eliminated. Six teams remain in the race for the playoffs.
A crucial match is set to take place between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at MA Chidambaram Stadium. If SRH wins, they will join Gujarat Titans on 16 points, securing their spot safely. CSK, currently on 12 points, can also qualify if they win their remaining two games.
However, a loss for CSK could put them in trouble. They would need to win their final game against Gujarat Titans and hope for favorable results from other matches. The net run rate (NRR) will be important in determining the final standings.
