What is Delhi Capitals' qualification scenario after win over LSG in IPL 2024?

Delhi Capitals win over Lucknow Super Giants has made the playoffs race even more interesting. Now, CSK, SRH, DC, RCB, and LSG are in the race for the two vacant spots. Victory over Lucknow has taken them to the 5th spot on the Points Table. Their progression is now dependent on how other teams play. 

For Delhi Capitals to qualify, Chennai Super Kings would have to win against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. CSK's win will eliminate RCB from the race. They would have to hope that Sunrisers Hyderabad would lose both their remaining matches, that too by a big margin. SRH's current run rate is 0.406. DC would have to rely on GT and PBKS to give SRH a huge beating, which lower their NRR below DC'S -0.377. Plus, Delhi Capitals would have to count on Mumbai Indians. It would be favorable for Delhi if Mumbai secure a win over Lucknow Super Giants. 

DC Qualification scenario summary:

• CSK beat RCB by a margin 18 runs or more
• GT and PBKS bat first Vs SRH
• Both of them make at least 200
• Both of them defeat SRH
• GT and PBKS winning margin should be at least 100 runs in each

This is the only way DC could qualify. While there are too many boxes to trick Delhi Capitals are still afloat and since IPL is a home to miracles, DC would be hoping that all the equations move in their favour.
