The Indian Premier League season 12 is drawing close to its most exciting phase as the league stage are coming to an end. With only a handful of matches remaining, Chennai Super Kings are the only team who is closest to qualifying for the playoffs with 16 points to their name.

The remaining seven teams are in with an outside chance to make it to the top four. Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bangalore, who are at 7 and 8 spots on the points table respectively, also have chances to make it to playoffs given some permutations and combinations.

Kolkata Knight Riders and Kings XI Punjab have themselves to blame as they have been on a losing streak of late, squandering their good starts and now scampering for a win here and there.

Keeping every mathematical and hypothetical scenario in mind, Team COC makes a prediction as to which four teams will make it to the top four with final standings in the points table.
