KKR has not had a good time in the last couple of matches in the IPL 2025. After claiming 3 wins in their first 6 matches, KKR have fallen down in the points table with two humiliating losses. Against PBKS, they failed to chase 112 runs and lost by 16 runs. In their previous game, KKR was outplayed by GT across all facets of the game by 39 runs.
KKR’s remaining matches in the group stage are against PBKS (in Kolkata), DC (in Delhi), RR (in Kolkata), CSK (in Kolkata), SRH (in Hyderabad), and RCB (in Bengaluru), respectively. They have a balanced draw, as DC, PBKS, and RCB are above them in the points table, while CSK, RR, and SRH are below them as of now.
In 8 matches, KKR has 3 wins and 5 losses with a positive net run rate of +0.212. NRR has to be their biggest positive, as they can just concentrate on winning all of their remaining matches in the season. Assuming they win all their 6 matches, KKR could reach a maximum of 18 points, which could assure their spot in the playoffs. However, that’s something far-fetched at this point.
If KKR can manage 5 wins and a loss in their remaining 6 matches, they can claim a maximum of 16 points, which could still make a case for their qualification, albeit with permutations and combinations. But things get complicated with every losing game for KKR. If they win 4 and lose 2 of their 6 matches, KKR can reach a maximum of 14 points.
Historically, not a lot of teams have qualified for the playoffs with 14 points. But given their NRR, assuming they maintain it well, there could be an outside chance of them qualifying. If KKR wins anything less than 4 of their remaining matches, their chances of qualification could nearly be impossible. With 10 teams in the tournament, it’s almost impossible to qualify with just 12 points.
