That leaves Three spots vacant now, with 7 groups nonetheless mathematically within the working, although CSK and MI are the frontrunners to take two of the three remaining playoffs berths.
Of the 7 groups nonetheless within the race, MI, LSG, RCB and PBKS have 2 matches left to play, whereas CSK, RR and KKR have one league sport left to play.

TOI’s Shankar Raghuraman does the quantity crunching to find out how the groups stand as of Tuesday, Might 16 morning, in 10 factors:
With Eight matches left to play within the league stage of IPL 2023, there at the moment are 256 potential combos of outcomes. TOI seems at every of those potentialities to calculate the probabilities of particular person groups making it to the playoffs. As issues stand, one crew is certain of ending first or second, one other is sort of sure to make the play-offs, a 3rd one is a powerful favorite to take action and a fourth crew has a virtually two-thirds likelihood. Among the many others, DC and SRH at the moment are positively out of the play-offs race however the others are nonetheless mathematically within the working.
1. GT, after Monday’s win, are assured to complete in high spot when it comes to factors both singly or collectively. Their probabilities of being sole chief have improved to 87.5%. However even when they tie for high spot, it may well solely be with one different crew, so they’re positive of ending the league stage as No.1 or 2
2. CSK can now not seize high spot and even tie for it, however they’re additionally virtually sure of constructing it to the highest 4 on factors with their probabilities of ending in that bracket both singly or collectively now at 94.9%

3. MI are in third place, and their probabilities of making the highest 4 on factors at the moment are at 89%, although that features eventualities the place they’re tied for the fourth spot. They’re the one crew that may tie with GT for high spot
4. In fourth spot at present, LSG may now not aspire for high spot, however have a 65.2% likelihood of constructing the highest 4. As soon as once more that features eventualities by which they’re solely joint fourth, a few of them with a number of groups
5. RCB are in fifth place and their probabilities of ending within the high 4 stay at 43.8% although this contains conditions of groups tied on factors for the final spot. They will now not aspire to high the league stage
6. At the moment in sixth place, RR’s probabilities of making the highest 4 stay at 18.8%. They will don’t higher than tied fourth, and that’s in the event that they win their remaining sport and different outcomes fall in place
7. KKR, now in seventh place, may not end higher than tied fourth with between one and 5 different groups. However their probabilities of reaching which are higher than RR’s at 21.1%
8. PK are in eighth place, however an additional sport in hand means their probabilities of ending within the high 4 on factors are higher, at 43.8%, than RR or KKR, that are above them within the desk
9. Ninth positioned SRH at the moment are formally out of the play-offs, like DC, with their absolute best putting being sixth
10. DC’s shot on the play-offs can also be now formally over. They turned the primary crew to get eradicated following Saturday’s loss to PK

How we calculate these possibilities:
We checked out all 256 potential combos of outcomes with Eight matches remaining. We assumed that for any given match the probabilities of both aspect successful are even. We then checked out how lots of the combos put every crew in one of many high 4 slots by factors. That offers us our likelihood quantity. To take a particular instance, of the 256 potential consequence combos, GT finishes in sole high slot on factors in 224. That interprets to a 87.5% likelihood of being the only real chief on the finish of the league stage. We don’t take web run charges or No Outcomes into consideration as a result of predicting these upfront is not possible.
