#1 Bengaluru Bulls | Current Position - 4th; Matches Remaining - 0
The Bengaluru Bulls have finished all their league games. They are fourth in the standings with 66 points from 22 matches. The Bulls are very close to qualifying, but will be eliminated if the Haryana Steelers, Gujarat Giants and Jaipur Pink Panthers win their matches.
In that situation, Haryana will be fourth with 68 points, while Jaipur and Gujarat will take the next two positions with 67 points. If either Haryana, Gujarat or Jaipur lose, Bengaluru will qualify for the playoffs.
#2 Haryana Steelers | Current Position - 5th; Matches Remaining - 1
Unlike the Bengaluru Bulls, the Haryana Steelers can decide their own fate. Their last league match is against the Patna Pirates tomorrow evening. Victory in that game will secure their progress into the playoffs.
If the match ends in a draw, Haryana will be dependent on other results. The Steelers will be eliminated if the Gujarat Giants win both their games and the Jaipur Pink Panthers defeat the Puneri Paltan.
If Patna wins against Haryana, the Steelers will have to hope that the match between Jaipur and Pune does not end in a tie, and Gujarat lose at least one game.
