The Women's Premier League 2026 edition could be termed as the most competitive of them all. Except for one team, all of the remaining four teams have been able to give equal performances. After 13 matches, only Royal Challengers Bengaluru have been able to make it to the playoffs.
Now the equation is easy for the fans to understand, and competitive for the remaining four teams. Seven League stage matches remain, with two spots up for grabs, and four teams competing for these two places. Let's analyse which team has a better chance to reach the playoffs, noting the fact that all teams have won two games each.
1. Mumbai Indians
Mumbai Indians have not been able to do well in the current season. Despite being the defending champions, the team is making unwanted records, but still they stand a chance to make their place in the playoffs. The team has played six games and won just two of them, putting them at 2nd in the standings.
The team has created a new record, which comes out to be their worst. For the first time in WPL history, Mumbai Indians have secured three consecutive losses. The team also lost its previous match against Delhi Capitals, which makes their qualification even more challenging.
Mumbai Indians will now have to win both of their last two games in the league stages. Despite that, they will also have to rely on the other team's performances to ensure that they make it to the playoffs. Mumbai will now be hoping for RCB to clear the way for their playoff race.
2.UP Warriorz
UP Warriorz did not have a good start to the tournament, losing their initial three games. But now, they have been able to regain their form with the help of their recent wins against Mumbai Indians. With these two wins, the team is now placed at the 3rd spot in the points table.
In order to make it to the playoffs, it is necessary for them to win all of their remaining three games. With three more wins, their spot in the playoffs will be sealed. But if the team secures two wins out of three, their qualification will also rely on the performances shown by the other teams.
3. Gujarat Giants
Gujarat Giants had an impressive start in the Women's Premier League, and even topped the table for a moment. But all of their momentum has been dropped down to a great extent, following the team's recent losses. From the top, they have now shifted to the bottom, with two wins in five matches.
At this point, it becomes necessary for Gujarat Giants to regain their winning momentum if they want to make it to the playoffs. Still, they have three games left to be played in this season, which could play a vital role for the team's qualification with a new team.
For Gujarat Giants to qualify, they will have to win all of their remaining three games in the tournament. With three wins, Gujarat Giants will be guaranteed their spot in the playoffs. But if they are not able to get the same, their qualification will depend on the other teams.
4. Delhi Capitals
Three time WPL finalists Delhi Capitals are also present in the race to WPL playoffs. But this time, their chances have also been trimmed down to a great extent, taking a look at the team's performances. They have been able to regain their form with the win over Mumbai Indians in the last game.
And now, their chances to reach the playoffs have increased slightly. With Delhi also standing equal to all the other teams which have not qualified, it might make things a bit easier for them. But it is necessary for them to win all of their remaining three games this season. With three wins, Delhi Capitals will get their spot in the playoffs guaranteed.
