As the twelfth edition of the Indian Premier League reaches its business end, the fight intensifies for the last two spots left for the play-offs.

Chennai Super Kings were the first team to book a place in the top four after Rajasthan Royals beat Sunrisers Hyderabad on Saturday, 27 April. After playing 12 matches, Chennai are second on the table with 16 points, which might be the cut-off for the play-offs this year.

Meanwhile on Sunday, Delhi Capitals finally had a change of fortune after seven years as they made it to the play-offs. Delhi also lead the points table with 16 points from 12 matches, same as Chennai, but they have a superior net run-rate.

Now, with nine matches remaining in the league stage, all six teams continue to be in contention for the last two spots in the top four.

Here’s a look at the permutations and combinations that might end up deciding the last two teams that qualify for the IPL 2019 play-offs.
