IPL 2024: The 17th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2024) has now reached its final stage. Only 4 matches are left in the league stage, while the names of 3 teams have been decided for the playoffs. The name of the fourth team will also become clear from the match between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Chennai Super Kings (RCB vs CSK) on May 18.

The final of IPL 2024 will be played on 26 May at MA Chitambaram Stadium in Chennai. But it seems impossible for Chennai to reach the title fight. At the same time, it is not possible for RCB, which has won consecutively in its last 5 matches, to play the final.

RCB – CSK will not play the final

It is noteworthy that the match played between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Chennai Super Kings (RCB vs CSK) on May 18 will be a knockout. To get the playoff ticket, victory in this match is necessary. By defeating RCB, CSK will have a total of 16 points in their account and they will easily get entry into the next phase of IPL 2024. But some conditions are also attached to RCB's victory. They will have to defeat the yellow jersey team (CSK) by a margin of 18 runs or chase the target in the 18th over.

Will not get a place in the final

Any team between RCB and CSK may enter the playoffs, but it is almost impossible for them to reach the final of IPL 2024. Actually, CSK has shown average performance this season. They have won 7 out of 13 matches played so far, while they have faced defeat in 6. At the same time, RCB has also lost 7 out of 13 matches and won only 6. That means his overall has been very average.

On the other hand, Kolkata Knight Riders, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Rajasthan Royals, who have reached the playoffs, have shown very good performance this season and can easily defeat CSK and RCB. However, Rajasthan Royals have also lost their last 4 consecutive matches. After this, it is believed that the final of IPL 2024 can be played between Hyderabad and Kolkata.
