Gujarat Titans are now ninth on the IPL 2024 points table, ahead of only Mumbai Indians. GT (net run rate -1.32), and are tied on points with Royal Challengers Bengaluru (-0.049) and Punjab Kings (-0.062), but are far behind on net run rate. Punjab also have a match in hand.

The qualification route for GT is difficult. Not only do they have to win all three remaining matches but unless they win a match (or more) by colossal margins, they are unlikely to make up for their net run rate. Thus, they have to finish two points clear of the fifth-placed side.

GT can qualify if the rest of the league stage is played out the way mentioned above. However, if one of the Bottom Six breaks through to the 14-point zone, GT will need at least one massive win to make up for their net run rate.
