Mumbai Indians (MI)

With 12 points from six wins, including in all last five matches, out of 10 games, MI can have a shot at making it to the playoffs with 14 points but they'd be hoping to further secure it. If they finish on 18 points along with four other possible teams, they'd have net run rate advantage working for them.

Gujarat Giants (GT)

With 12 points from nine games, GT have the best shot of all to make it to the playoffs. They can firmly secure their place with four wins out of remaining five games and can even dream to finish in top two.

Delhi Capitals (DC)

DC started the season well but have lost the plot in last three-four games. They currently sit at 12 points from six wins in 10 games  but would have to be dependent on other teams even with 18 points. They, however, have a shot in playoffs at 14 points as well so  a lot of luck involved.

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG)

With 10 points in 10 games, LSG also have their best shot if they win the remaining four games but not a guarantee. Also, two of their last four matches are against current top two teams.

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR)

The defending champions are having a horrible season as well with 9 points in 10 games. They not only need to remaining all of their remaining four games, but be depended on other results as well.

Rajasthan Royals (RR)

They currently have six points from 10 games and can finish at maximum 14 points - RR need a lot of luck starting with all the wins in remaining games.

SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH)

They also have six points but have played only games so SRH can reach 16 points. The task, however, looks very tall given their current form.

Chennai Super Kings (CSK)

Officially out of playoff race after eight losses in 10 games and just two wins.
