The race for the playoffs is getting tighter with every match in the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). In the two matches played on Saturday, defending champions Gujarat Titans and Punjab Kings secured close wins. The two matches played were extremely in contrast to each other as the Titans defended 135 runs, the lowest in IPL 2023, while Mumbai Indians fell only 13 runs short in the 215-run chase at the Wankhede Stadium. The losses have hurt MI and Lucknow Super Giants both as the scenario for the top four spots is changing every day.

Despite the loss, LSG remain at the second place thanks to their superior net run-rate compared to CSK who also have four wins. Gujarat Titans have also won four matches now and they stay at the fourth position. They cannot go past the other teams with four wins due to their inferior net run-rate. Meanwhile, PBKS also registered their fourth win of the season and are at the fifth place while they also stopped the three-match winning juggernaut of Mumbai Indians. MI have slipped to the seventh position after three wins and as many losses in six matches.
