Haryana Steelers became the sixth team to qualify this season. They are seventh with 18 points from 17 games. With one game to go, they are in with a chance for a top-four finish. However, they will also need other results to go their way apart from winning the game.
Gujarat Giants' playoffs chances get tougher after massive defeat against Haryana Steelers
It was not only a huge defeat for the Gujarat Giants but also a massive dent in their qualification hopes. Following the trashing from the Steelers, the Giants dropped to the tenth position on the table. This was their second consecutive loss.
They have 12 points from 17 games. Their final league stage game against the Bengaluru Bulls will be a must-win affair. However, a win alone may not be enough to guarantee them a place in the playoffs.
Notably, seven teams have already qualified for the top eight. Therefore, there is just one spot remaining with three teams other than the Giants in contention. That said, they will need to win by a big margin and hope for other results to go in their favor.
