The battle for the top four positions is set to go down to the wire, promising thrilling and exceptionally close matchups, making it one of the most compelling races in IPL history.

With 58 league matches done and dusted in IPL 2024, only a handful of fixtures remain before the season will move towards the playoff stage. Franchises barring PBKS and MI still have a chance to break into the top four of the points table and make it to the summit clash. The final of IPL 2024 is all set to be played at the iconic Chepauk Stadium in Chennai. The Qualifier 2 of IPL 2024 will also take place at the same venue.
