Royal Challengers Bangalore
Royal Challengers Bangalore, led by Smriti Mandhana, have shown improvement this season with three wins from six games. They are currently on the third spot and need to win at least one of their remaining two games against Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians to stay alive in the race. If they manage to win both games, they could also finish at the top, provided they surpass Delhi and Mumbai’s net run rate.
UP Warriorz
UP Warriorz, led by Alyssa Healy, are on the second-last spot with three wins from seven matches. They need to win their remaining game against Gujarat Giants by a huge margin to improve their net run rate. UP Warriorz also need to depend on Royal Challengers Bangalore’s results. If RCB loses both of their remaining games, it will clear the path for UP’s qualification. However, if RCB wins one of their remaining two games, UP will have to focus on improving their net run rate, which is currently at -0.365.
Gujarat Giants
The Beth Mooney-led Gujarat Giants are having a tough season, languishing at the bottom of the table with one win from six matches. They need to win their remaining two games against UP Warriorz and Delhi Capitals to keep their playoff hopes alive. Furthermore, they will have to depend on Royal Challengers Bangalore’s results and hope that RCB loses both of their remaining fixtures. Gujarat Giants also have the daunting task of improving their net run rate, which is currently the worst among the five teams (-1.111).
The race for playoff qualification in WPL 2024 is heating up with just four games remaining in the league stage. Mumbai Indians have already secured their spot, while Delhi Capitals are on the brink of qualification. Royal Challengers Bangalore, UP Warriorz, and Gujarat Giants are still in contention, and the next few matches will be crucial in determining which teams make it to the knockout stages.
