WPL Knockout Race: Four Teams Battle for Two Spots!

The Women's Premier League (WPL) is nearing the end of its intense league stage, with the playoff picture still undecided for most teams. Royal Challengers Bengaluru has already secured their qualification after a strong start. Despite this, the remaining four teams are locked in a fierce battle for the two coveted playoff spots.

Delhi Capitals, currently second, needs to win their remaining matches to guarantee a top-two finish. Gujarat Giants, also on equal points with Delhi but with a lower net run rate (NRR), must secure victories to advance. Mumbai Indians, the defending champions, have the advantage of a better NRR and aim to win their last two games.

UP Warriorz, at the bottom of the table, faces the biggest challenge due to their unfavorable NRR. Even with maximum points from their remaining fixtures, their qualification hinges on other results and a significant improvement in their NRR. The upcoming matches on January 27th, January 29th, and February 1st will determine the final standings.
