Mumbai Indians are on the verge of an early exit from the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, with a solitary defeat preventing them from becoming the first team to be knocked out of the playoff race this campaign. Under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya, Mumbai Indians have barely taken off as a unit, with poor performances from established stars as well as poor leadership causing the team to suffer at crucial moments so far in the season. With only three more games left in the league stage of MI’s campaign, all hope is not entirely lost.

Mumbai Indians are still in the race to qualify for the playoffs, although their chances of becoming one of the top 4 teams are very slim.

How can Mumbai Indians qualify for IPL 2024 playoffs?

Condition 1:First and foremost, the Hardik Pandey-led team needs to win all its remaining three matches in the IPL 2024 league campaign. MI will next face the mighty Sunrisers Hyderabad, followed by matches against Kolkata Knight Riders and Lucknow Super Giants.

Condition 2: It is expected that no other team will be able to cross the 12-point mark in the IPL 2024 standings. Currently, SRH, LSG and CSK already have 12 points each. Therefore, at least two of these franchises will have to lose their remaining matches in the league campaign. With KKR and RR already at the No. 1 and No. 2 positions with 16 points each, it is impossible for Mumbai to overtake them. In fact, big wins for KKR and RR against other teams will only benefit MI.

Condition 3: The net run rate of Mumbai Indians is currently -0.356. Even if MI wins all its remaining matches, they will have to do so by a huge margin to add to the positive NRR. But, this may not be enough if other teams have a better NRR than MI by 12 points.

Although you never say never in a sport like cricket, it is fair to say that Mumbai Indians’ IPL 2024 playoff qualification prospects do not inspire much hope in the hearts of their fans.
