IPL 2025: Which teams will play in the playoffs of IPL 2025 in qualifier 1 and eliminator, will be decided today from the match between Lucknow Super Giants and Royal Challengers Bangalore. If the rain canceled the match, then RCB will benefit. Know here the entire playoff schedule.
RCB game can spoil LSG already out
Lucknow Super Giants have already been out of IPL 2025, but the team will take the field today with the intention of spoiling the game of Royal Challengers Bangalore. At the same time, for RCB, this match is very important in terms of securing second place in the playoff race. With a win, she will make it to the qualifier 1 and will take on Punjab Kings.
Gujarat will benefit from RCB defeat
RCB currently has 17 points. If the team wins, it will come to second place with 19 points. But if the RCB loses today, then due to 18 points of Gujarat Titans, they will directly reach the qualifier 1. Mumbai Indians have already been out of the top 2 race with their defeat and the eliminator will be forced to play.
If the rain stopped the game in Lucknow?
If the rain match deteriorates, both teams will get 1-1 points. In this situation both RCB and Gujarat will have 18-18 marks. But by a slight margin of net run rate, RCB (0.255) will overtake Gujarat (0.254) and reach the qualifier 1. In such a situation, rain can prove to be a boon for RCB.

May 29 – Qualifier1: Punjab Kings vs not fixed
