As the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2024 nears its thrilling conclusion, the playoff qualification scenarios have intensified the excitement among fans.
Delhi Capitals (DC) and Mumbai Indians (MI) have already stamped their authority by securing spots in the playoffs, leaving one coveted position up for grabs. Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and UP Warriorz (UPW) are locked in a fierce battle to claim that final playoff berth. Even Gujarat Giants (GG) have an outside chance of making it to the top four (at least mathematically!).
Both RCB and UPW stand level on points, with six points each from seven matches. However, RCB holds the advantage due to a superior net run rate (+0.027), placing them third in the standings.
WPL Points Table
| POSITION | TEAM | MATCHES | WON | LOST | TIED | NR | POINTS | NRR |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Delhi Capitals | 7 | 5 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 10 | 0.918 |
| 2 | Mumbai Indians | 7 | 5 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 10 | 0.343 |
| 3 | Royal Challengers Bangalore | 7 | 3 | 4 | 0 | 0 | 6 | 0.027 |
| 4 | UP Warriorz | 8 | 3 | 5 | 0 | 0 | 6 | -0.371 |
| 5 | Gujarat Giants | 7 | 2 | 5 | 0 | 0 | 4 | -0.873 |
Here are the playoff qualification scenarios for RCB, UPW, and Gujarat Giants (GG):
-
Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB): RCB needs a victory in their final league match against Mumbai Indians (MI) to secure a spot in the Eliminator, as UPW and GG cannot accumulate eight points anymore. One must note that RCB have lost all three matches against MI in WPL history to date!
-
UP Warriorz (UPW): For UPW to progress, RCB must lose to MI by a margin that improves UPW’s net run rate (NRR) above RCB’s. Additionally, GG should lose against Delhi Capitals (DC), or at least have a lower NRR than UPW.
-
Gujarat Giants (GG): GG’s only path to progression is by defeating DC in their last game and hoping for an RCB loss against MI. Even in such a scenario, GG must maintain a better NRR than both RCB and UPW, with Gujarat currently having the worst NRR among the three teams. It’s really tough!
