The playoff race in IPL 2023 has become very exciting. Apart from Gujarat Titans, no team has yet confirmed its place in the playoffs. That is, the last week of this league is not going to be less than a superhit climax. On Thursday, RCB defeated Hyderabad and made it to the fourth position in the points table. At the same time, RCB has to play one more league match.

Royal Challengers Bangalore
Royal Challengers Bangalore's next match is against Gujarat Titans. If RCB beats Gujarat in this match, then the RCB team will come second in the points table. On the other hand, if Gujarat defeats Bangalore, then RCB's hopes of reaching the playoffs may also be shattered. Please tell me that this match will be played on 21 May.

Chennai Super Kings
CSK has to play the last match against DC. If Chennai defeats Delhi then CSK will qualify for the playoffs. At the same time, Chennai's net run rate has been good, so it can make its place in the top-2 as well. On the other hand, if Delhi beats Chennai, then the chances of CSK reaching the playoffs will be greatly reduced.

Lucknow Super Giants
The equation for LSG to knock in the playoffs is quite simple. They have to beat KKR in their last league match. On the other hand, if the Chennai team loses to Delhi or lags behind Lucknow in net run rate even after winning, then the Lucknow team will qualify for the playoffs.

Mumbai Indians

Rajasthan Royals
The Sanju Samson-led team will next face Punjab. Even if the Rajasthan team wins their last match, then the team will still have to pray that Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bangalore do not win their last match.

Kolkata Knight Riders
KKR's next match is against LSG. If KKR also registers a win in the last match, then the team can reach 14 points. Same, CSK and LCG have already secured 15-15 points. That is, KKR's fight is for number four. There itself. KKR will have to hope that Mumbai gets defeated by Hyderabad and RCB gets defeated by GT. Even after this, things will be decided by the net run rate.

Punjab Kings
The next match of Punjab Kings is against Rajasthan Royals. Even if the Punjab team wins the last match, it will reach 14 points. In such a situation, the team would not want KKR to win their last match. Also, the team will pray that Mumbai gets defeated by Hyderabad and RBI gets defeated by Gujarat.
