Punjab Kings qualification scenarios: Shreyas Iyer & Co. need just 2 more wins to seal deal
Punjab Kings (PBKS) are expected to seal a spot in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 playoffs without any hiccups. After beating the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, they have moved to the second spot on the points table with 13 points.
PBKS performance in IPL 2025
PBKS are arguably one of the best and the most consistent sides in IPL 2025. Led by a new captain, Shreyas Iyer, the trophy-less franchise has seen contributions flow in from all quarters of the team. Such is the brilliance of PBKS and Iyer that they even managed to register the lowest total defended in the history of the IPL.
Wins: GT (3rd), LSG (5th), CSK (10th), KKR (6th), RCB (4th)
Losses: RR (8th), SRH (9th), RCB (3rd)
No Result: KKR (7th)
Punjab Kings qualification scenarios for IPL 2025 playoffs
With a team requiring 16 points for a guaranteed spot in the IPL 2025 playoffs, PBKS have their task cut short already. With 13 points to their name already, Iyer and co. need to win just 2 out of the remaining 4 matches to qualify for the playoffs. 3 out of the 6 games will be played at their second home ground – Dharamsala.
PBKS are currently placed 2nd on the points table, with a net run rate (NRR) of +0.270. They would like to not just win but also improve their NRR. This way, they can not just qualify easily but also make the top two and earn themselves a place in Qualifier 1.
Remaining matches
Home: LSG (May 4), DC (May 8), MI (May 11)
Away: RR (May 16)
