IPL 2025 Playoffs: Qualified teams, schedule, timetable, venue, streaming

The top two teams on the IPL 2025 points table will play in Qualifier 1, which is scheduled to take place on May 29. The IPL 2025 final is scheduled to take place on June 3.

The 18th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2025) has turned out to be unique in its own way, as not a single team had qualified for the playoffs after first 59 matches. However, there are four teams that have been ruled out of the IPL 2025 playoffs race. 

    But, the race for playoffs changed just after the completion of the 60th match. When Gujarat Titans defeated Delhi Capitals by 10 wickets then they were not the only team to qualify for playoffs. Along with GT, two more teams qualified for playoffs while the MI and DC will fight for the one remaining spot.  LSg too got eliminated from the playoff race after losing to SRh at home in their do-or-die fixture on Monday.  DC vs MI match on wednesday will certainly finalise the fourth team.

What are the scenarios for MI and DC?

  MI (14 points) and DC (13 points) face each other on May 21.

  Only one of them can reach 17 or more points, which limits the competition for the top spots.

DC will be eliminated.

 

If MI lose to DC:

• MI must beat PBKS in their final fixture

  Teams finishing first and second on the points table get two chances to reach the final:

• The loser gets another shot in Qualifier 2, playing against the winner of the Eliminator (between third and fourth-placed teams).
