The top 4 spots of this year’s IPL are being separated by just 2 points, and as the tournament gets into the final stages of its completion, it is going to be a tough race to the finish line. The top 4 teams in the league games after playing their 14 matches each will go onto play in the knockout playoffs that will commence from 19 May 2015. 

Currently Chennai Super Kings are leading the points table jointly with Rajasthan Royals at 14 points each, and just a whisker ahead on net run rate. Not far behind are Kolkata Knight Riders with 13 points in the third spot and Mumbai Indians in fourth spot with 12 points.

On the bottom half of the table Royal Challengers Bangalore and Sunrisers Hyderabad have a good chance of making it into the final four with currently 11 and 10 points respectively, if they put up a good performance in their final 4 league matches. While the Delhi Daredevils and Kings XI Punjab have practically no chance of getting through to the playoffs, so it is a mere formality for them now in the IPL.     

On current form, Kolkata Knight Riders and Mumbai Indians have hit a good purple patch with wins in the last couple of matches, and Mumbai Indians winning their last 5 matches. Table leaders Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals are not in that good form as they have lost the last few matches.

Mumbai Indians are peaking at the right time in this tournament and look good to make it to the finals of the tournament. Chennai Super Kings also have good enough players to resurrect their lost form and hit the knockout punch to the opposing teams. Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals can be deemed as the dark horses of this tournament, and should not be underestimated by other teams as they have shown their class.

All in all this edition of IPL is going to be power packed till the final and only time will tell who lifts the trophy as we keep our fingers crossed.
